SSRI's + AAS = ?
Thinking about starting a light cycle of test e for 10 weeks, the only problem is I'm currently takin paxil for anxiety and depression, is it safe to use AAS while on SSRI's. If anyone is on a SSRI and has done cycles please share your experience's with me, which typed of cycles to avoid, proper pct, etc. I know. Everyone reacts differntly to AAS, and there prob no way of telling how I will react, but I can't help but think of all the possible things that can go wrong. I don't wanna become like severly depressed

hmmm I woudnt start AAS just yet. You have not been on your SSRI long enough imo to jump on gear. Wait atleast another 3 months. Also how bad is your depression/anxiety?

My advice (in case you decide to do this cycle) would be to do more frequent injections to keep your levels stable (i.e. if it is test e shoot twice a week instead of just once). Good luck

I think you'd be fine taking test E on Paxil or Prozac. But then again I'm not an expert on that. If you want to a more informed opinion, ask a pharmacist. They know a lot about drug interactions.

I would wait a little longer man. With something as potentially serious as depression/anxiety if your starting to feel better I wouldn't mess with that right now. Just my 2 cents.

whatever you do decide, make sure you are doing your shots below the half life so u keep constant levels in ur body. ie prop is ED, test e is e2d, etc. THis willhelp keep the hormone levels stable for the least interaction with ur ssris

u should be fine.. and in fact u might lessen ur issues while on gear but thats a guestimation lolLast edited by Lemonada8; 03-23-2011 at 11:03 AM.

Thanks for the replies everyone, I think I'm gonna wait another month so I can get myself more mentally prepared, working out is a huge part of my life, and I've been doin it for many years and feel its time to take it to the next level.

My depression and anxiety got real bad before I took the meds, constant negative thoughts, I was pissed off all the time, and just was fed up with how I felt, I tried to beat it naturally for years with no success. I was afraid to take paxil, the first week was awfull, but after the second week it has changed my life, i litterly have my life back, I still get my ups and downs, but I am much more stable now. My anxiety and depression was cause by my brain, not test levels, I can see how depression caused by low test can be worse then a chemicle imbalence in the brain. My diet is good, I eat healthy, I'm 5'9 , 160,

Depression will increase cortisol.
Lowered levels of testosterone will also increase depression, or the chance of it occurring.

I am also on an SSRI for lack of serotonin, I just had anxiety tho no depression. I started taking fluoxetine at 20mg a day and i havent had any anxiety since i started taking it. I would wait a little longer before you started taking anything to make sure everything is good and you are fine at your ssri dose.

I agree with you, I'll hold it off for a few months, my mental health comes first, that's why I wanted to start off with a test only cycle to see how I react to it. Thanks for the reply's.
