Bad Depression and Anxiety

[Wrongun]

Depression is serious. I'm an older guy still in really good shape and recently went through exactly what you are describing. Ended up on meds.

Did you consider or were you offered any other type of therapy out of interest?

I am bi-polar and OCD. I have noticed a difference due to AAS. I have never gone to a shrink because I do not want that type of stuff in my medical records and honestly I am a bit arrogant and I have always believed it was something I needed to keep under wraps all by myself.

Long before my AAS use I read tons of books on managing depression and anxiety. I eventually overcame the OCD but depression and my bi-polar swings are always hidden the shadows and pop up every now and then. I have found ways to overcome depression and mental attacks through meditation, exercise, being with people who care for me, and just simply being aware. Not adimiting one has a problem is really the biggest obstacle to overcome.

I really don't have anything else to add to the above posts - IMO it is good stuff. If you feel comfortable see a shrink and also Oxycalm and the other things can help.

Hang in there and also know there are people out there that can help. It just takes time, patience, an open mind, and a solid plan, to overcome it.

No it was a regular doc i was on for 2 months then went off.
Gave me effexor xr 37.5 mg. I believe the anti depression meds are seritonin inhibitors. Don't really know so don't want to state something thats not true, but that would be where the feel good comes from....

IMHO so many doc just hand out anti depressants without trying to understand the cuase or look for alternatives.

In terms of AAS use then yes a lot is the feel good factor (similar to anti - depressants in may cases). Problem i have is that if meds were the answer then you could just take 50mg Dbol ED and problem solved except my opinionis that it is only a short term fix to much bigger underlying issues that are escalates with AAS use.

End of the day whatever works is good though when you are down

Ever since coming off all AAS at the end of the summer I have been extremely depressed and anxious. All my bloods since have been normal so they are going to do a repeat one final time on wed. and then if theyre normal again send me to a psych. I had oxycalm and p7 around my house so i decided to start taking it instead of pouring alcohol down my throat. i have been doing 3 sprays per side 3x a day and it has been working good. what does should i do for the p7...it says 2 sprays per forearm but how many times a day?

also, these wont affect testosterone levels, lh, fsh or ne thing like that cuz thats wat theyre testing for....i jus feel like total shit

thanks

ps...also taking cee, trex and sesapure

So what was your last cycle??

Not sure if it effects you but i'd drop the trex. any kind of stimulants get my anxiety going.

I went through a bad depression after coming off my last cycle,cycles. I didn't do any PCT , so at the time I was miserable, I was shriking, didn;t want to workout anymore, didn't have any sex drive, appetite sucked, and couldn't sleep, I turned to other vices to deal with the depression. Any, it was a downward spiral. Took me about 7-8 months to start to feel better. And i was on wellbutrin for depression the whole time, still am on it, also I have to take 800 mg of serequil/night to sleep, but I'm feeling great now. Hang in there, it will get better, take it one day at atime. hope this helps
