Gear withdrawls anyone?

[Austin316]

Have any of you ever had some serious withdrawls after being off for awhile? Feel depressed even?

 

[powerhouse7]

I know some people do have some serious w/d symptoms depression, anxiety. The only problem I have had is a real decrease in sex drive, but thats pretty normal for a few months until everything gets back to normal.

 

[Austin316]

Im having one, Im pretty sure. It just feels useless training naturally and I get pissed at myself too much for not making gains

I just miss the feeling of being on... it's like your superhuman almost.

[Austin316]

exactly man, I get a huge mental boost from it also, its like nothing else Ive ever done

 

[G-Force]

It is hard but the alternative is being a gear addict - no thanks!!!

 

[powerhouse7]

you just have to be strong and know its going to pass, we all go through it. good luck.

 

[kaoz&zen]

citrs, i agree. For along time i have loved rec drugs, then i got into working out. I have only done one cycle. But if given the choice of anything in the world, i would wish for a lifetime supply of gear; out of everything i have done it is the only thing that i ever really miss when off. I haven't been on in quite a while and my self esteem has suffered, i have become depressed and have minor anxiety. All this despite the fact that i have made gains and losses(fat-- my bf% is lowest it has been since i was 16 (2 whole years ) post cycle. I can't wait to get back on, but i want to wait for the peak of the plateau i am riding.

 

[cbsas]

i hear you bro last time i came off it felt like going to the gym was useless. the phase will pass bro stay srong and just think how big you fuckin got off your cycle and all the puss your gonna get now.

 

[HappyScrappy]

the main thing I miss about my cycles are the nearly constant erections.

so now that I'm down off stuff, I can't tell if I'm not working all that well, or just only remembering the superhuman state of erections all the time.

and my lifts are down, but that doesn't bother me as much, I don't give a shit what I lift, just want to look better.

heu scrappy

thtas an easy enough thing not to miss.. just do about 600mg/wk of deca next cycle and use no test, then when you come off, you will value every one you can get.

Anxiety
Depression
Less SelfConfidence
Feeling of working out being pointless
Less outgoing


I've felt a little bit of each of these. And there really doesn't seem to be an answer except get on another cycle.

I will admit right now that gear IS pyschologically addicting...

And to anyone that is thinking of starting, realize that you are getting into a big can of worms.

 

[bigpimp]

i cant function correctly without gear....i have tried...i just cant do it....i need that shit

 

[kaoz&zen]

hmm,clen/eca bridging or primo/anavar briging is an option now tat i think about it... hehe and dnp does not improve morale

LOL!
yeah, that's not exactly the answer I was looking for!

yeah, the 2 things I can't stand about coming down are the little tiny zits that I got all over my shoulders and upper arms - NEVER had them during the cycle - skin was great then. got them after. great.
and then the missing of the superhuman feeling in all aspects.

I could never go back were the situation there, but hell, it isn't - so I think I'm going back

 

[MUSTANG_18]

I am in HUGE one right now, of course there are other factors that contribute to my depression but being on Clomid and off gear can't be helping to much

and generally feeling very lethargic.

I felt the worst after 8 weeks of Fina/winny/Prop. When I did my 1000mg test/600mg EQ/ 35mg dbol ED/ 50mg Winny ED I bridged with 2-300mg Primo for 6 weeks and still have not crashed yet. I love Primo!!!!

 

[HappyScrappy]

it has been pointed out here before that Winny will cause a depressed state once you come down b/c it actually has an effect on the neurotransmitters... it was in one of Huck's sticky's back in the day... probably a month or two ago.

 

[Stew Meat]

NEVER use winstrol toward the end of a cycle. 90% of post cycle depression occurs due to benzodiazpene inhbition as a result of winstrol use. When used at the begining of a cycle, elevated serotonin levels from high androgen levels can counter the effects of bdp inhibition, but after a cycle, serotonin levels decrease, benzodiazepene is decreased, and when combined with use of clomifene, you are setting yourself up for some serious depresssion. This is usually the events incountered by those bodybuilders comminting suicide post cycle.

So would it be advisable to use an SSRI (like Celexa) as part of your post cycle regimen if you intend to stack in Winni for the last 4-5 weeks to prevent the severe depression or would it interact badly with the clomid?

I'm taking Zyban to quit smoking right now and I think that it is staving off depression somewhat.

I second that. I am new to gear, but I am already seeing what was mentioned above. I don't regret what I do, but you have to take the good with the bad.

I just wait until I raise the weight for the first time for a lift when being off, and the drpessing feeling is gone. It needs to only be 5 lbs or so, and I feel like a million bucks.

[ripped103]

just dont come off.being off sucks thats why i decided to stay on and bridge bet cycles

 

[vinman]

I just went off too. Try not to max out and keep intensity high with a little lower weight and more reps. Don't think about getting smaller or weaker. Stay strong.
