NERVOUSNESS - Please Help

[Scrembo]

Hi Bros,

I was just wondering if any of you have ever experienced nervousness during your cycles and possible ways to overcome it. Or if you could point me in the direction of where I might find out more about what causes nervousness while taking steroids ?
So far my searches haven't turned up much, so I'm mainly looking for personal experiences any of you might have had. Also, I own all of the pro bodybuilders videos, and in Nassers video he specifically mentions that if he doesn't drink enough he suffers from nervousness. This led me to believe that I wasn't drinking enough, although I always try and intake at least 3 litres a day at least.
Thanks for any help and input gents! Keep up the great work!

How far into your cycle are you?

[taiboxa]

Hi Guys,
Thanks for the quick responses! I'm on week 8 of a sust/deca /dbol cycle, bread and butter stuff really. Gains have been amazing, this is my first time using deca and I love the stuff. I noticed the nervousness started to get worse just recently though. I've always been a shy and retiring type of person, so any additional nervousness is just a pain in the ass.
taiboxa - I take 3 litres a day of mineral water is what I meant, sorry it wasn't clear. Overall my liquid intake is much more. For example I also take about 1000 calories of pure orange juice (2 litres), and sometimes energy/carb drinks during my workouts, and this also doesnt include all the liquids from protein shakes etc.
twiztidjuggalo74 - Was your nervousness caused by steroid use or was you prescribed this medicine beforehand? I'd be very interested in any additional supplements / medicines that might help me shrug this nervousness off. How nervous/anxious were you getting? To the point of slight shivers/shaking?

Thanks guys! I very much appreciate all this!

i have slight anxiety anyway but if ididnt take my klonopin i wouldnt do my shots at all i get scared like something bad is gonna happen to me and yes i shake and stuff but once the test kicked in anxiety wasnt a problem at all

Thanks for the update bro. I feel where you are coming from. What kind of test did you do and at what dosage? After how long did the test remove your anxiety?
My second cycle (2 cycles back) was a test only cycle (sust and then switched to enanthate ), towards the end of this cycle was when I first started to experience some nervousness, so I'm not sure if the test will help things with me.
From what I have read, I always assumed that steroids (esp. testosterone ) would increase libido etc, and have the opposite effect to making you nervous at all. I'd love to be able to solve this problem.
Cheers fellas!

Im in week six of my 1 cycle- Test E and i know what you are talking about. I have felt really anxious lately, its the same kind of feeling i get when i take adderall, its a good anxious type nervous feeling. I dont know if that makes any sense, its kind of hard to describe, but i know what you mean

Do you buy this from the store? If you do, I would swap this out for H2o.....

Hi, Yeah I do but it's the Tropicana stuff, which is 100% pure and not from concentrate.


So does anyone else know where I can do some reading about what might be causing this nervousness, or ways to combat it? Thanks in advance!

You've been on the dbol for 8 weeks? My blood pressure would be high as hell if I did that. You keeping tabs on your BP?

No, I stopped taking the dbol in week 6/7. I wasn't aware that BP could be related to nervousness though? I've ran 10 week dbol cycles before at moderate dosage with no problem whatsoever and good kept gains.

Keep suggestions and comments coming please guys. If someone could point out an article or something where they have read anything related to this then please let me know. Thanks!

Anything man made or processed has a med to high glycemic index....it should be avoided...

[goalseeker]

ya the BP could be a main contributor.. go get it checked...
do you get the shivers all the time? or just shaking all the time?

Thanks for the advice bro. I will get it checked out very shortly as a relative has a home kit for testing BP. The shaking is weird. If I'm by myself in a relaxed environment then I don't feel a thing, but if I'm outside surrounded by lots of people then the anxiety will build up and thats when it seems to happen - but then again not always.

[goalseeker]

only when you are on the gear? or anytime at all.....

[omnipotent]

take kava kava .. but dont OD on it .. it will relax you really nicely .

I think I've always been slightly over anxious, but these symptoms I mentioned (excessive anxiety + shaking) have only occured on cycles.

omnipotent, I've just done a search on Kava Kava and it sounds just like what I'm looking for. Will the 30% standardized extract version do the trick? Which do you recommend? I'll order some asap.

Thanks to everyone who's replied! I always find the bros around here to be amazingly helpful. Cheers.

dude I am on TEST_E @500mg plus 60mg d-bol+20mg adderall+Coffe=I shake and shiver alot bro my BP is real frinin bad man..I feel ya bro..

I was reading this post the other day and thinking that I never had nervousness or a feeling of anxiety before on a cycle. Today though I started to feel it. It's weird. I thought it was psychosomatic but it definitely isn't. My cycle is really starting to kick in full force but this anxiety is something new. I am doing 400 mg of Deca and Test weekly (shot twice a week for 10 and 12 weeks respectively) and 30 mg Dbol for the first 6 weeks. I am now in week three. Anyone have any idea if this will go away? Like I said it never happened on my other two cycles. If it is my BP will my body adjust?

[fitnesstrainer1967]

ive had it related to bp, running dbol 10 weeks is idiotic for most

[RichPhilly76]

I agree that's why I'm only running it for 6
