Anxiety from dopaminergics?

bigrand

New member
Hey, currently on tren enth, oral methyl-DHT, letro, nolva and selegiline......ive been waking up and going to bed with some anxiety problems lately, anyone else get them on selegiline? I know its supposed to help with it (i take about 7mg ED), but ive been waking up unhappy and unable to sleep well....i hate it, very unhappy with my life situation even thought there is nothing to get upset about. Im getting my old seperation anxiety back..........anyone?
 
I'm not sure that selegiline causes anxiety... it didn't for me, and I'm prone to random panic attacks...it's not listed as a typical side effect either.... however, I did get headaches while on selegiline at 5mg ED, so I stopped taking it altogether.... if I were to guess, it could be any of the AAS you're taking... they could exacerbate anxiety
 
It sucks, im really up and down right now, some times im in a great mood, others i want to turn my life upside down to feel better....does cabergoline cause anxiety at all? Im not sure of its mech of action, if its a semi selective MAO like sel is, i may switch.
 
have you done a cycle like this before? first time for anything? tren is known to cause anxiety in many

Cabergoline made me depressed.

Ummmmm.......tren maybe????

Try bromo at night instead.


Ive used tren before with no problem......the sel is the only new thing, its actually suppposed to help with depression/social anxiety.

Ill try bromo

As far as cabergoline, i think i read 15% can experience depression (ill find the source)...not to mention there have been SEVERAL links to it causing valve problems (regurgitation)....its an ergot alkaloid like what was used in fen-phen

this is an issue witth all ergot derived drugs including bromocriptine. though it has only been found at higher end dosing ie. many people using these drugs for parkinsons use up to 6mg ED of cabergoline, as opposed to .5mg e4d typically used in these circles.

from NEJM "In patients with Parkinson's disease, the usual daily dose ranges from 2 to 6 mg, whereas in hyperprolactinemia, the weekly dose ranges from 0.25 to 3.5 mg. So far, fibrotic reactions and valvular heart disease due to the use of ergot dopamine agonists have been reported almost exclusively in patients with Parkinson's disease"

with bromocriptine up to 56mg per day is used in parkisons. 2.5mg is high end for most, most bodybuilders use .65mg to 1.25mg

basically dosing cabergoline at 12-42mg/week vs. maybe 2mg per week(in high dose users)

wow, good info macro
 
btw- it is still something to consider, if only in passing, in making your dopaminergic choice, however that being said the risk is likely extremely minimal at the dosages commonly used for prolactin inhibition.
 
I honestly think it could be the tren. I'm into my 5th week of tren now and I have started to experience similar problems.

I think the incidence of valvular damage from bromo was like 17 in 10000....not enough evidence to make a real good comparison, but high dose cabergoline didnt look good....perhaps ill try it at a anti-prolactin dose......suggestion Macro (QD or QOD)?
I would try Norprolac as its not derived from ergot alkaloids...but its too hard to find.

There are just too many other variables with selgeline as its a MAO-B inhibitor under 10mg QD, i know its not the tren, ran tren before with no probs, not to mention, its too early for the tren enth to kick in.
 
One more thing Mac, do you know of the body clearence rate of selegiline, or at least time table for MAO-B levels to return to normal after stopping use? Im having a time trying to find diffiniative info on it.....its not as easy as being metabolized and excreted, ive read 2 weeks?
Sels 2 metabolites, meth-amphetamine and amphetamine dont interact well with caffeine.....i dont want to jump start anything else until i know my levels are normalized......i stopped the selegiline about 2 days ago.
 
if you are just taking caffiene dont worry about it, often take plenty of caffeine with up to 20mg selegiline daily.

2 weeks is the "industry" word on clearance... would say generally 3-5 days is sufficient unless taking high doses or taking something that is highly contraindicated
 
like opiates or SSRIs im guessing

The sel with the caff and nolva was just way too much, i really felt horrible, not so bad now.
 
I take Dostinex (in VERY low dose) 0.5mg/wk. Shit is amazing. Feel good. Horny as hell. Getting some bad press for heart valve sides. BUT only in Parkinson's patients, at much higher doses. And only ONE study. This shit is like a happy / horny pill. And a must with Deca.

I don't know bro, but Tren can make you pretty crazy. Just my 2cents.

Too many ifs with this sel stuff, i mean basically over night, i went from normal to absolutly hating my life. No doubt its the sel. Ive taken letro, nolva, tren before (not methyl-DHT, but dont think its that) with no problems....so ill need another D2 agonist or levodopa or something else....maybe ill try the dostinex at say .25mg every Mon and Thurs?
 
well what was your dosing? cause 5mg/day is going to be too much for many people ... i had some issues (w/caffeine) at 1-2mg/day
 
doses that people will find anxiogenic with any of the compounds or combination there of will vary considerably... if you find a dosage anxiogenic then lower it.

5mg ED up to 6 then 8....tapered it down to zero after thinking it was the cause.
