manic depression & steroids.....

[paradox]

Is there any medical studies done stating whether or not steroids can actually cause manic depression or if they just aggravate the already under lying condition?

thanks in advance

I don't know about that, but if you're prone to depression those post-cycle blues can be pretty damn bad in my experience.

I can only speak from my own experience but I definitely think it aggravates it if it already exist.I suffer from mild depression but somedays I feel that it is not so mild so to speak.It can get pretty bad at times without any real reason but then I'm fine again the next day.

Yeah, no shit! I used to get really bad, but clomid helps a ton.

Post cycle depression is very real. Here is some advice. When you come off and are taking your clomid, eat 10mgs of dbol right when you wake up. it will help in many ways. Dbol gives you a sense of well being. It will keep cortisol low, and it will give you a mental upper (cause you will be "on" in your own mind).

I would think clomid would aggravate any depression to a greater extent than any roids would.

I agree. Combine that with low test levels, and hormonal imbalance that insues coming off, and you could have a problem if you are prone. Hence, eat some dbol.

Well manic depression & depression are two different conditions (per-say) manic depression is depression accompanied with intense euphoria. High androgen levels & ephedrine, caffeine & what not seem to really amp it up. Just was wondering what people in the medical fields & psychiatric fields personal take on this matter is. If drugs can entirely induce a disorder or can do nothing more the aggravate a already existing condition.
