Mental reaction to steroids

[Adadskado]

When taking steroids, how do they affect your mood? Do you get more mentally active, or you get slower? Are you irritable, or on the contrary in good states of mood? What do you experience in this meaning?

 

[Lev Butlerov]

There is no single answer to this question, since everyone is different, and different compounds will lead to different reactions. In most of the cases testosterone will regulate your mood in a good way. However, things like trenbolone can get someone more aggressive, especially if that person already has an aggressive mindset. So it is quite different for everyone. In addition to that, some people will get lethargic. In any case, the changes are not drastic, and they are temporary, so there is no need to be concerned about that.

when i first used steroids the androgens hit me hard.. all i wanted to do was fuck, workout, and eat

the more i used them and the more conservative dosages they really do not affect my life

As the guys say it varies. For some, those who have naturally low levels, are old or were ill having a test boost can indeed make them feel good. Not in a direct action on their actual mood (which would be, if at all, low level) but more from an increase in what it means to be male. So strength, muscle, aggression and so on

Steroids have two properties:
1. Anabolic - to promote muscle growth
2. Androgenic - to increase virilization

It's the androgenic properties of steroids that cause increases in aggression, strength etc.

Yes - steroids effect your mood. ALL hormones effect your mood. Testosterone is the primary male sex hormone. Testosterone will increase everything manly. You will be more aggressive and have a shorter temper on steroids.

Do you always get more aggressive with steroids, or this is episodical? What steroids are worst in this regard?

 

[Lev Butlerov]

As a general rule, if you are overall aggressive, you will tend to get even more so on cycle. If you are not, that is less probable. Also, you can avoid using such compounds as trenbolone and winstrol - those highly androgenic compounds are known to cause more aggression.

It's never happened and I'll tear the arms and legs off of anyone who says I'm aggressive... err hang on.

It is very individual. I don't really notice much change for me other than aggression while training when on stronger androgens like tren. Other than that I am pretty much just the same dude.

I'm pretty much the same. In fact I don't think I've ever 'lost it' on gear. Maybe cos I'm that little bit aware of being 'on'.
