How does AAS cause anxiety?

[chordz]

Do all AAS cause it to some degree? I never had it until my last run with dbol. Maybe it was something totaly unrelated but it's not a good feeling. You feel as if something is going to happen as in heart attack or whatever and then you feel like you need to get away from wherever you are. Not sure if I can do dbol again and hoping my test E won't do it. I have done dbol in the past with no issues.

The only time I ever experienced any anxiety was after my first shot on my first cycle doing test e. I had injected into my right glute, aspirated and no blood came out. So i proceeded with the injection and after I pulled out the needle a little blood came out of the injection site. At first I freaked thinking I had injected into a blood vessel and at any moment I was gonna suffer from a massive heart attack or stroke and there was nothing I could do about it.

Of course I panicked before finding out all that happened was I passed through a blood vessel, happens alot. Even when my doc pins me with the flu shot I bleed a little. I knew I was freaking over nothing but still had to call my gf just to talk to her so I would calm down and get my mind off of the matter.

It was always my number 1 concern before making the decision to pin. Hitting a vein even though no blood entered the syringe. Just paranoia I guess.

So, maybe your just being paranoid? Some other daily influence making you freak for some reason? Maybe subconsciously your afraid the Dbol will cause a heart attack that you almost feel like your gonna have one?

I have never heard of anyone getting panic attacks caused by a steroid, and if this only happened this cycle then I think it's just your mind screwing with you. 'Course i could be wrong.

i know alot of bros who have experienced some kind of anxiety and panic attacks from gear...they speak of symptoms such as awareness of heart rate,palpatations, nervousness,elevated heart rate,trouble breathing,fealing of impending doom and fear,and other symptoms...i have only experienced the elevated heart rate myself...it is much more common in people with manic depression,bi polar disorder,or depression problems according to studies.

i dont know why or how but most bros tell me that taking taurine helps alot with this!...hope this was some help to you!

I dunno-but the man is coming to get me.

Bro, I noticed something similar with dbol. Slight anxiety. You could try taking it throughout the day in smaller doses to help??

Geneticmutation your story reminds me of a time I did like 2cc of test suspension in oil. The oil base was supposed to be less painful. Anyway, I aspirated and all was good, but when I took out the needle I was bleeding a little and I started to taste something in my mouth, like maybe the test? I dont know, but anyway I felt pain in my face and through my skin like I had a sunburn or something. Thought I was going to die for sure.

I have never had anxiety from aas but my friend says eq does it to him and I have read before eq can cause anxiety at high dosages.

 

[chordz]

Ya I've felt that little bit of anxiety after a shot. I couldn't imaging someone having to deal with real panic attacks on a regular basis.

 

[GoldenDelicious]

most of the juicers i know feel anxiety until they feel their balls shrink. then they know the gear is real i call this "scam anxiety"

EXACTLY! ...you've just described a true anxiety / panick attack ...this is what i feel when i use EQ ...it is absolutely the worst ...and it is not a "mind over matter thing" ...it is very real usually even accompanied by chest pain and even a high b/p ...and you might be able to "tolerate" it during the day (if you have enough distractions) but at night ...forget about it! ...it does not pass unless you take something like xanax ...very horrible feeling.

it's too bad these threads about this specific anxiety always disappear without an answer cuz people confuse a the passing feeling of anxiety while ...say ...having to do a bloody injection (which we've all had at one time) or a passing feeling of anxiety from heart palpatations ...maybe from dbol or something.
...THIS IS NOT THE SAME!
and it f*ckin' sux that it never gets answered cuz it gets confused with lesser anxiety that passes or B/S or jokes (no offense big cracker cuz i like your jokes) but i'd really like to see this one get answered cuz this is F*CKIN' SERIOUS for some of us.

MOD's ...VET's ...PRO's ...EXPERT's .....PLEASE CHIME IN!!!!!
help us get to the bottom of it.

BTW ...EQ is secretly famous for being the absolute worst for this anxiety

Isn't dbol at all similar to EQ? I know the fact that dbol is a 17aa and therefore becomes different but the anxiety factor could remain. What brings the attacks on for you or is it always there?

i dunno how similar Dbol and EQ are ...but from what you wrote ...it sounds like you got it too ...i just don't know why from Dbol? ...and NO the anxiety is NOT always there, matter of fact it never there ...even when i'm on i'm very calm (i mean i'm able to train harder when i'm on but i would call that slight aggression) ...only when i use EQ for some reason and i just can't explain it.

Dbol does not do it to me ...neither does test, tren, primo ...just EQ ...and it took me a while to track down the source of it cuz in the recent past my EQ was 50mg/ml (ganabol) so if i was stacking, i guess, it would take some time to get to a level where it would induce this anxiety ...now a days i get (BD) 200mg/ml and it comes on litererally moments after i inject ...it's unexplainable and even more unbelievable ...that's why i'm so curious and I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THIS ANSWERED CUZ I'D LOVE TO BE ABLE TO USE EQ AGAIN

I got anxiety on Dbol my self and it sucked i think it happend because of harmone inbalance in my opinion. too keep levels balanced is prolly alot harder with orals this is only my uneducated opinion..

This is exactly the feeling that made me drop my last cycle after 2 weeks. I was on Var 60mg a day and Winny 50 mg a day. Anyways....I was feeling exactly what you described and decided it wasn't worth it. After I dropped the gear the feeling totally subsided in about 6 days.

On my last cycle of Sust and Deca never got this feeling......and not with D-bol either. I took it as a sign I need to take some time off for awhile....and next week I'm going to get a full check up and blood work done.

AAS affect anxiety in a variety of ways. CNS activation and neurotransmitter modulation are among the two most prevalent pathways.

modulation can be via ER,PgR and Ar activity or blocking. As well as due to suppression of natural hormones and their metabolites

There are herbs and stuff you can take. Is that what you mean by naturally?

 

[Massive Pumps]

i just take xanax it helps alot very small dose .25 mg

 

[macrophage69alpha]

pseven (from AF) low dose is excellent for steroid related anxiety, at it directly raises allo-pregnanolone levels

I got in a bad situation with a girl and was missing her real bad mid cycle and it drove me nuts. I wanted to find something so I could calm down but I'd start thinking about her and get all wound up again. It was horrible. I came off immediately and ran a strong PCT with lots of nolva, HCG, a-dex, herbals.

I couldn't find any thing to take to make me calm, so I just ate and slept. well, at first I couldn't eat, but after a few weeks I started eating like crazy. I couldn't train cause I'd start getting my heart pounding when I went to the gym and started thinking about her, then I'd start crying...

It was a horrible cycle, and by cycle, I mean the cycle of missing her, leading to thinking of her, leading to missing her even more, leading to more anxiety.

I wish I'd had something that would've made me calmer.

Damn I still miss that girl

 

[macrophage69alpha]

clomid will only make a situation like that worse... who here cant say they shed many a tear during "emotional" movies when taking clomid? (not truthful people )
