steroids and anxiety ?

[longines]

hi guys im new to this site and want to ask a question . now bare with me because there alot to this.

about 5 years ago i started suffering with real bad anxiety and panic. at the time i was taking my first and only cycle (till now) it was 1ml sus and 1ml deca and some d-bols although i didnt take much of the d bols, i took it for about 6 weeks and also at the same time my bro and best friend took the same and they both 100% fine. now prior to that i had been going through 5 years of a real bad stressful situation that i don't want to go into because its a real long story but it all came to a big end one night . massive argument with me getting more angry then ever. about a few days after that night i went to bed and woke in the night feeling like i was dying of heart attack. it was the most scary experience of my life.

my mom and bro took me to hospital where they check me and gave me a ECG that was all clear. the DR said it was a panic attack and not connected to my heart or steroids but advised me to stop taking them. i did stop taking them and even though he said my heart was fine and its not the roids i got it into my head that it was the steroids and they had damaged me some how.

after that i had the worst few years of my life with anxiety. in that time i had alot of checks on my body . i had countless ECGs that was all clear and a ultrasound on my heart that was all clear to. i also had counseling that helped a bit and anxiety medication that i do not like. they either make me worse or just drowsy.

its 5 years on now and i am much better i do still get anxiety a bit of anxiety but then it was 9-10 out of 10 each day and now its more 2 out of 10. im not on any medication anymore just one for my stomach acid


SO here the thing . i want to take steroids again. my bro and my mates take them and they are fine and im fed up with not being able to take it. im thinking of taking 1ml(250mg) of Test E. i know logically that i will be ok and that its just anxiety but would like some encouragement that i will be ok esp from peps who suffer with anxiety to. i cant really talk to my dr about because he says no to multi vits let alone roids

I have terrible anxiety problems and panic attacks. I've learned to get them under control, but have never had it effected in any way from gear other than Clen since it makes you all wirey and shakey.
People that don't understand them will always tell you NOT to take steroids. Start off with something simple like test only and see how you handle it. Something like prop would be good so if you DO have negative sides you can stop and run it out of your system faster. Do the pins cause you anxiety? In that case maybe test E would be a good idea.
Hope this helps. I know how band anxiety can be... I had an attack so bad this past Wednesday that I fainted and smashed by face on the floor. But I do have some pretty cool scrapes on my face now haha.

I was on 750mg of test E a week just about a year ago and it did not cause me anxiety in any way whatsoever. If anything it helped and made me feel more confident and strong and sure of myself.

thanks mate that really helps, the probs i have as well is most people dont understand anxiety to. anxiety it terrible i wouldnt wish it on my worst enemies. i get a strange feeling in my chest and a mix of tiredness and restlessness all at once i think it was just really unfortunate timing for me that made me feel it was the roids at the time. i have given myself some ache and pains from the years of stress , you think the test will help me with that to ?

Everyone is different. I have read where it helped several people and also read where it made several worse. The best you can do is just watch out for the signs of one approaching.

Do you medicate for them?

Have you got blood work? I get anxiety myself. Having low test can course symptoms on anxiety I believe.

Everyone is different.... But I still suffer badly w/ panic attacks as well as anxiety... And they have me on a benzo which I font agree with but I also get Seizures without the benzo - kind of a double edged sword!

I don't wish what I go thru on no one... But our minds are very powerful and could actually give you a panic attack if you really think the two are connected... Be sure your also not Hypertensive as it's harder to control(I am) but there definitely are ways to help these symptoms, like meditation, deep breathing, etc(sounds corny but true) took me a long time/and still am trying new things to keep me more balanced throughout the day rather than up and down up and down - a horrible feeling!

If you think your ready which it sounds like you've done everything you've been able to do than I say if your gonna do it anyway then know your bodies triggers and always keep an eye on them as these symptoms could raise your BP... HR, etc... And AAS can do these things (most notable sides, High Blood Pressure, Higher Heart Rate, etc!

Just listen to your body and be careful but it sounds like you got a much better wrap on the anxiety, etc! And as stated above - a test only cycle would benefit you for your first time back in a while... And I second Wolfcraft... W/the Prop, but if doing a test only one might think about a longer ester but with prop(a shorter ester) would allow you to stop much quicker if need be without having the test E still building in your system! Plus with Prop - IMO - less bloat!


Good luck!

You have panic attack diseaese. Every change in your body could cause new atack. Steroids increase blood pressure, some of them increase heart rate. Also it cause some psychological effect like anxiety, temper. So my advice is don't strat to cycle without controlling your disease. My friend who has panic attack is also starting a cycle. He is stabil now. We will se how it will efect later

ITS ALL IN YOUR HEAD

After a couple of weeks you'll be fine, I have anxiety as well.. I always seem to have it pretty bad during the first 2 weeks of a cycle but once it starts to kick in the anxiety disappears!

Just a case of settling in, Also I feel the more research I do on here the better I feel! Deep breaths, Tearing the hell out of the weights, eating clean and having a highly rated lab/Good gear. You'll smash it man!

Buddy, same deal here. Was going through a super stressful time and was only 9 days in on a prohormone. For three nights in a row my heart was beating really sporadic...I thought I was going to die. Haven't touched anything since... But just got a script for HRT androgel due to low T. I'm nervous.... But going to get on it anyway.

Have you got blood work? I get anxiety myself. Having low test can course symptoms on anxiety I believe.

Would be helpful if people using steroids actually took the time to understand what functions hormones regulate in the human body.

Cognition, sleep-wakefulness, appetite, libido, digestion, growth, MOOD (emotions), immune system function, metabolic rates, and more. Understanding important roles your endocrine system plays in the human body, it would come as little surprise that mood/emotion can and often are affected.

I know its in my head but sometimes my brains runs with it . Just looking for some support instead of constant horror stories . I dont have blood test but last time I did they where all fine including bp and blood oxygen level.

helps to know other people who have anxiety still take steds . Dont wana feel like there going to kill. Thats the thought I get every time I start getting syptoms . Like my heart just going to stop on me .

im going to try the test e anyway. Im looking for some positve opinions . I can find a hundred negative and horror stories everywhere els . Normally from people who kno noubt
