Mood changes on AAS
Obviously the roid rage thing is a bit on the silly side.
Nevertheless, from my research it seems like the mood changes can be very significant. What should one be prepared to face in general when it comes to mood changes, whether it's actual AAS or PCT related?
How were the changes that occured were\were not what you expected?

On prior cycles, I could have bouts of anger that were hard to control. Of course, I was much younger. Also, I did not control estrogen with an AI.
These days, I don't much notice it. I may be slightly more short tempered or less understanding while on AAS, but much less than in the past.
You need to use an AI to control estrogen. If you have a bad temper or emotional issues, be aware that AAS can heighten them and take steps to keep them under control. In the end day, an individual is responsible for his own actions. It is not the fault of the steroids if the individual fails to control himself. That's my two cents anyway.

As DTM suggested, estrogen levels can also play a big part in mood swings. Using an AI will help regulate potential swings.
There is really no way to "prepare for it" except to realize it can happen and when it does, to remind yourself that it's the hormonal shifts causing the changes.
One reason we encourage younger members to wait before jumping into steroids is so they mature a bit more and understand how steroids will affect many normal functions. When you read about occasional steroid -related suicidality it's more often in young guys who haven't matured enough to understand and handle the changes brought on by endocrine manipulation via steroids.

I was going to say the exact same thing. When I was a few years younger and had rage issues without AAS, then I had a bad time on cycle. But now that I am older, more mature, have a son, I hardly notice a difference on cycle as opposed to off. It is one thing to get a little roid rage , it is a completely different animal to have AAS worsen an already serious anger problem. I think maturity and responsibility concerning your cycle and your actions are the two most important things you can do to mitigate problems.

It seems that my attitude and mood actually gets better on cycle. I have never had real anger issues or have been overly aggressive like some people. When I cycled tren it did make me a little short tempered and maybe more aggressive than normal but nothing that worried me.

Agree with MuscleInk. I would like to add Maturity and experience play a big role. First couple of cycles are so unpredictable in any individual and as u progress to further cycles the individual will or should learn how their body will react with certain compounds. And yes the Tren Train will make or break you.

Just finished my first cycle. Felt great outside of the gym, more aggression while training, but in a good way. I honestly felt 20 years younger while on. Been off for 6 weeks. Just finished PCT. I wasn't an emotional wreck , but ed and libido issues made for some rough nights. Thank god for Cialis lol

The heavier the gear the heavier your mood can swing
When I run just test, I don't notice shit. When I run a test/tren /mast summer cycle - I feel off the hook. I control my outbursts though & haven't had one / but I can surely notice a difference.

I just want to fvck and lift on cycle. I'm less tolerant of stupid stuff and I speak my mind more. Really had to catch myself a few times and think "Did I really just say that out loud! Doh"

Unfortunatly, mood swings can be a problem. I have to remind my self I'm on chemicals and am not always patient or reasonable.

Solid advice by Muscle Ink. Solid!

I figure, if one isn't mature enough to be able to control their mood, then AAS ain't for them. Adding alcohol, besides the obvious downsides, is a recipe for disaster, if yer prone to aggressive behaviour.
I constantly remind myself, that I'm "medicated", and wouldn't get so hot under the collar otherwise. Plus, I have 2 teen sons, who rely on, and look up to, me, so I gotta keep my shit sane.

I am glad I am not the only one who thinks this, I think the a lot of it can be a kind of nocebo effect. I see guys in the gym all the time claim they have roid rage off of some gnc test boosters.
