What to do...

[double23]

I´ve been recovering from depression with accompanying weightloss.
I've been liting for many years but lost considerable amount of weight and became the skinny kid again. So I started steroids again, I´m currently on a 8 week cycle of test-prop and am 3 weeks in. The thing is, I´m on antidepressants and have been getting weird episodes of spasms and racing heartbeat and so on. I'm really disappointed if I have to stop my cycle but this is freaking me out, these episodes. I went to the doctor last time and I felt as if I was about to pass out. He took my vital signs, bloodpressure and so forth and they were in order so he concluded that it was probably more just a panic attack. Should I just stop because of these funny side effects? You'd think that Prozac and steroids would interact in some kind of way due to the fact that it alters hormone states? Do you guys have any experience with anti depressants while cycling? :O

No one should be taking steroids during bouts of depression,adding extra hormones always results in an adverse reaction so you can cause more harm than good.

RADAR is correct, steroids can produce a significant augmentation of symptoms of depression, especially when coming off. If you are seeing a psychaitrist you should be honest and tell the doctor that you are or have been using AAS.

ok I stopped already, now I´m paranoid about the interaction between these 2 once I come off, I have already made an appointment with a doctor, better be safe than sorry.
