Anxiety and AAS

[bigrand]

Hey bros

Do any of you suffer bouts of anxiety/nervousness after using any AAS? After i came off a cycle of lots of shit, had a very bad bout of it. Never really had any problems with anxiety in my life, no more than the average person. Its not like im anxious or worrying about anything in particular, more like my nerves are fireing at 200% and im on edge and the slightest thing can make me jump.

Gonna run a sust and winny cycle and dont wanna have that again, so im looking for any AAS to stay away from.

Test is about the only thing so far that messes with my anxiety, but not bad enough that it won't be in all my cycles! You just gotta try things, people are different...

I have severe anxiety and it is a BITCH! Paxil helped me a ton but it also made me hungry all the time, sleepy all the time, and just made me not wanna do shit! Im gonna go back to the doc and maybe try wellbutrin or something like that.......... good luck! Anxiety sucks!

I have wrestled with the dual problem of anxiety and depression for over 10 years, currently take xanax and prozac for the problems.

Cycles do not affect my anxiety in any way more or less, the gear if anything minimizes my anxiety.

Go figure.

During Cycle or After

I have the anxiety disease for the last 17 years. All kinds of things effect it. Things in my diet as well as lactate sensativity.
Even training. I feel great during and for a period after but then something causes my anxiety levels to rise later and the next day until i hit the gym again. Note: lactate levels rise with physical exertion. For anxiety prone individuals with the real disorder have an immediate reaction of anxiety to being given sodium lactate injections(dr David Sheehan of the University of Harvard) For myself AAS HAVE interacted. No one AAS is the same as the other with respect to anxiety disorder. Particularly for myself the faster acting orals and higher androgen. Dbol, Abombs and to some extent Fina aggraveate my anxiety. Note: these AAS rise to peak concentrations much faster than oil ester based AAS. Everyone is different. Test and EQ have always served me well with minimal anxiety.

Now, after I have come off AAS, then the problem has gotten worse. See, I believe that the AAS have acted as a positive effect on my well being, and thru some chemical connection have along with the meds I take i believe AAS improve my state of well being. When I go off, my anxiety gradually peaks. I need more of my meds than while on. Important to say is that I am 41 and cycling since 1989. Estrogen rebound may also be a factor. Taking Tamoxifen and liquidex have helped with post cycle anxiety. Sorry that I can give you an answer to you problem. All I would tell you is take careful attention to what ever you eat or do or take to come to an understanding of how to relieve your anxiety.

I as well have suffered from anxiety since childhood. It is hard to deal with. I do not experience any more or less while on cycle, actually, sometimes a cycle can relax me to a degree. Sometimes I feel like I can handle it but others, like the past few months, I feel like I can not handle it at all. I don't think any particular steroid is worse than others when coming off in causing anxiety - eq while on possibly though. It is most likely mainly due to an inevitable hormonal imbalance once drugs are discontinued. That you can't really avoid and you may to consider another side effect of gear. You may also want to consider talking to your doc about taking some meds so that you have them at leat for while coming off though I'm not sure that is the best solution. You are not alone with this problem anyways bro. Good luck.

My buddy had anziety bad. He was to the point of being suicidal. He took some Testosterone recommended from his doctor, and he got better instantly! He is an older male, but the Test saved his life in my opinion. That may be why you get the anxiety after completing a cycle. Your own Test is shut off, and you arent adding any more to your system. There is many anti-depressant drugs out there, but I would say to give it a little time to see if your own system coming back on helps you. No need to take more crap to possibly screw you up if you dont have to. Good luck bro!

Thanx for the replies bros, so most of you dont think that AAS will CAUSE any problems, but might AGGRIVATE them?
