testosterone and anxiety

[poopypants]

around late august i developed severe anxiety due to alot of stressful things going on in my life. within the past month or so i have gained pretty much full control of it. i am taking lexapro and klonopin daily. because of my whole issue with the anxiety i have lost alot of strength due to half assed training and not eating right. would it be safe for me to take a small dose of say test prop at 100mg a day or so? i know increased blood pressure can lead to increased anxiety. what i am asking is a dose that small enough to raise blood pressure enough to bring back my anxiety. i would like to run it just for about 4 weeks or so. any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance

Testosterone supplementation seems to help me with any anxiety I have (via an increase in overall confidence and general well being)....(that doenst necessarily mean it will do that for you though...)

test is fine imo...fina is a hell no though

i've heard that eq is also a no-no for anxiety sufferers...

definitely avoid Fina

If you're planning on doing 100mgs/day=700mgs/week. This is not a small dose and can definitely cause increases in blood pressure with co-insiding increases in anxiety levels.

100mgs 3x/wk of prop or 300mgs/wk of a longer ester like cyp or enth. If this still gives you problems, you may want to consider adding an anti-hypertension med.

I know that many say to stay away from FINA but sometimes that's due to the mix of FINA and other AAS during a normal cycle. My training partner has really bad Panic Disorder but uses FINA alose with some aniti-E's. He's on Paxil 10mg ED and when on a cycle, he takes Xanax 5mg twice daily which also helps and he now alternates his cycles between Fina only and normal test+ cycles. I don't want to give you bad advice but it's also in the dosages, so he moderates up until he gets panicky and then backs off. He may use much less total gear than some would on this board, but unless you are going pro...

Hope it helps.

just from my personal experience, and obviously everyone is different, i ran a fina and eq. together and it brought on some never before present anxiety, and i had no idea what the hell it was let alone how to deal with it...it had a strong negative effect on the overall gains in my cycle....im on test/deca/dbol and feel up beat and has not caused any similar symptons as my previous cycle....so in general it has had positve effects on the mental aspects of my life, which carries over significantly to the gains...

Agree. Its often that when i come off that i get anxiety. Eventually though your going to have to deal with it straight.
