Go and get laid!!

I too am depressed - although I've got medication for it I'm not taking it at the moment.
Depression is a symtom of steroid use , if you have other factors in your personal life life which are "getting you down" then you need to address these before you continue with your cycle. Other wise get to a doctor and get them to prescribe an antidepressant.

Good luck bro - it gets easier - trust me!

Using testosterone and other AS, can throw a person into severe depression.

Depression is one of several possible side-effects of using testosterone. Even when using basic HRT (Horomone Replacement Therapy Levels) of 100-200mg per week, a person can experience depression. This information is based on a documented, FDA reviewed double blind test which was conducted by Upjohn (manufacturer of depot-tesosterone a.k.a. tesosterone cypionate ). You can go to the Upjohn website and look for the insert that comes with the depot testosterone if you want to read more on it.

If you go to the doctor for depression, and never tell them of your AS use, you may cause yourself more problems than necessary. SSRI's, used to treat depression, can cause a person harm if prescribed for the wrong reasons (chemically induced depression vs. natural chemical imbalance).

Furthermore, certain depression meds, can throw a latent bi-polar person into fits of depression and mania. NOTE: A person who is a latent bi-polar means that they show minimal or no effects of a bi-polar disorder despite having one. Drugs such as steroids and medications can manifest this disorder.

Becareful.

Testosterone and AS can have a good effect on mood too. Since this thread was about depression, I focused on that side effect.

As you know, not all people react the same way to each steroid .

Big time agreement there. I was feeling down before my cycle and then once on test for about 3 weeks I just started to feel better, didin't let small things bother me, took everything in stride, and felt more positive about my self-image. I actually feel that those changes have made me be much more socialble.

Pror to this cycle I was considering ordering some anti-depressesents, that's how big a turn around it was.

Hope you feel better soon ziggy!

Try not to let it bother you. It happens to me to. Just remember that you're being hormonal and an hour or two later you'll be fine again.
