Xanax While on gear

[ProUser910]

My therapist and physc think it's a good idea i take .5mg of xanax twice a day and possibly zoloft if this doesnt help. I was wondering how badly will it hinder my gains i have a lot of pressure at work and school so the anxiety isnt a direct effect on past use of gear it might have worsened it but besides the fact when i took xanax in the past before using gear when i was younger i feel pretty happy about things and dont want to stop it but part of the reason im happy is because i know im about to cycle with prop/fina/winny with propper pct of coarse. How badly will xanax hurt my gains is there anything i can take to reverse the effects?

Please help! i dont want to get anything but the most out of any cycle

you should be fine on the xanax bro. Ive taken 2mg+/day while on gear and still had great results. at .5mg/day you will build up a tolerance to it quickly and it shouldn't affect your performance in the gym.

Don't take Xanax unless you have anxiety. At the very least use sparingly.
Withdrawl from benzodiazapines in on par with nicotine, heroin. Not pretty.

have you tried klonopin i think it's alot better. Anxiety ****in sux. xanax is go od but it's short acting. I'am on zoloft myself. Bro try gaba and nadh it really does help. There natural supps.

I would be very careful with that stuff, IMO one of the hardest drugs to come off of, if you end up gettin addicited to it., it could take months or even longer to detox off of and for the brother takin 2 mgs a day ?? Thats a lot be careful ... PEACE

Well im prescribed to it so i don't know what to say i know people abuse it but i was on it when i was 16 yrs old before serious lifting and i was off it for a couple years then on then off and now back on and my life is generally better while im on xanax and zoloft... i will def not up doses unless the doctors tell me and i will not mix this with alchol

Plus i might feel weaker because they do make me a little drowsy but im eating around 5000 calories a day over 20 eggs a day and about 150 grams of proteins in shakes alone also a ton of oatmeal and organic whole weat bagels for energy

The peripheral benzodiazepine receptor (PBR) is a mitochondrial protein involved in regulating steroid synthesis and transport. We report here the effects of androgenic/anabolic steroids (AAS) on the binding of the PBR-specific ligand [3H] PK11195 to male rat brain cortical synaptoneurosomes. Two synthetic AAS, stanozolol and 17beta-testosterone cypionate (17beta-cyp), significantly inhibited 1 nM [3H] PK11195 binding at concentrations greater than 5 and 25 microM, respectively. Stanozolol was the most effective inhibitor, reducing [3H] PK11195 binding by up to 75%, compared to only 40% inhibition by 17beta-cyp, at 50 microM AAS concentration. Two other AAS, 17alpha-methyltestosterone and nortestosterone decanoate, were incapable of inhibiting [3H] PK11195 binding at concentrations up to 50 microM. On the basis of Scatchard/Rosenthal analysis, [3H] PK11195 binds to two classes of binding sites, and the inhibition of [3H] PK11195 binding by stanozolol appears to be allosteric, primarily reducing binding to the higher affinity [3H] PK11195 binding site. These results, in combination with earlier studies indicating the direct effects of AAS on the function of additional central nervous system receptor complexes, suggest that the behavioral and psychological effects of AAS result from the interactions of AAS with multiple regulatory systems in the brain.

but I would think it would effect your training by making you lethargic and tired? No? Isn't that a side effect?

xanax is pretty similar to valium in the way it makes you feel, so it definitely could slow you down for your workouts.

YES it can make you feel lethargic. Dose dependant, obviously. Less is better.

However it's much more tolerable than anxiety / panic attacks that paralyse you with fear from going outside to get the mail. Which makes the whole decreased muscle growth thing almost irrelevant.

If you abuse it not only will you become addicted. But after a while your tolerance can get so high, that an effective dose for anxiety treatment, can kill you. Respiratory shut down. Don't take it unless you REALLY are having severe anxiety issues. PLEASE
