The majority of the friends I have are lifters (doing PED's) and the most of them seem to be on some sort of anxiety med. Most of people I know that are not lifters not doing PED's don't seemed to be on these meds has anyone noticed this?
 
I’ve developed an anxiety disorder from PED use. I abused tren years ago and had to go on meds to sleep then developed further more permanent anxiety disorders especially related to sleep even when on just trt. There is definitely a correlation
 
I haven't been in the PED world for long but I can say they definitely exacerbate my pre existing anxiety issues. So I feel I'll have to be picky about what I run.

With that though I don't have many juicy friends but the majority of my friends are all on anti anxieties of some sort. They also self medicate with weed and beer frequently and tend to just sit at home. I think working out and inducing some exposure therapy would be good for them

This is one of the reasons I stopped using steroids, not initially but after I stopped using them I realized how much better I felt off steroids

All medications in general are complex, steroids (and probably most medications) haven’t been researched enough to know all the things it can do to the body

I think it’s reversible though, after I got off steroids, I felt just like I did when I was in highschool (mentally) before I used them, which made me realize how much they truely affect you

I had a bout of anxiety that was directly related to PED use. I have never experienced any anxiety prior to using PEDs.

Good thread. I feel like 90% of PEDs users probably have similar stories.
 
Yeah like smoking weed gives me anxiety, yet for others, it prevents it lol.
Oh man it sends my anxiety through the roof.

I've noticed most of my friends who smoke weed for "anxiety" have worse social anxiety than ever before and they just try to smother it with more weed. At least that's what I've noticed from the outside. Havent seen 2 of my best friends in months because their anxiety however prior to becoming chronic they never had these issues
 
Yes, I can definitely notice it. I Never use to worry about anything. I cant say it was directly steroids. I used mk 677 for over 2 years straight and really noticed anxiety got better when I stopped.

I got anxiety one time from eq, would get really upset about simple things, they became big things.
And the the time I ran tren, but that was my fault, and I didn’t really get anxiety, more like a god complex mixed with a bit of I was going to destroy my normal life for a piece of ass complex, lol. Really bad judgment. My cock took complete control.

Other than that I’m fine. When I run more test I become more of my old self when my test was higher, not sure if it’s a good thing or not though.

But no major mental changes.
 
The inverse is true as well from my experience. Many people with anxiety wind up being asked to exercise to help with the symptoms, and some go to the gym. Some go for walks. Initially, the exercise prescription works wonders, and anxiety is forgotten. Some people graduate to be hardcore trainers and take some enhancers, and with some folk, these trigger a rebound of anxiety.
@Sorbate, your post and experience are right on with the two compounds of Tren and EQ. Did you notice anything with Deca? There is literature out there to support anxiety and Deca, but I'm too lazy to look for it.

None for me with Nand, but it is a well reported side.

Ive noticed it with deca, but it took a long time, at least 4-6 months and I could control it.But nothing like eq or tren. On eq I would start thinking negative and within mins i had my self convinced I was gonna have a heart attack and my chest would even start hurting. it was kinda scary and fucked up

For my, I lose all my anxiety.. all my insecurity... with tren I get some delusions of grandeur... lol.
I think because my natural testosterone levels have always been pretty low.. like got tested at 28.. before I ever touched AAS and my test was a 4.8 if I recall.
So the first time I did a cycle, I became a new man. Inner peace.. confident.. just was absolutely great for me.

Crappy, eh? That heart attack feeling is so common. I talked with a client way back in the day who was having a panic attack and complaining of heart pain. We are trained to take that complaint seriously, although breathing exercises minimize the symptom most of the time. This chap actually had a heart attack. : Luckily, we were in a hospital day program. Breathing didn't quite work. Duh.
