they did usually give me insomnia, but the insomnia would happen right about the time the gear would start to kick in and my body would adjust typically within a few days.
i think the questions regarding it improving confidence and aggression is very individualized. for me, it didn't increase aggression. as far as confidence, i think it does, but indirectly. by the increased gains you get while on, it certainly does increase confidence. however, i believe that's a completely indirect psychological thing and not directly attributed to chemically by the gear.
the aggression issue might be a problem for you. i know with many people, gear can make them more irritable. maybe it's a psycological thing, cause i never got it personally. i was actually usually in a pretty good mood while loaded up on gear.
i believe with some people the aggression factor of gear may be a self-confidence issue. basically, before the gear they have insecurity issues or confidence issues which inhibits them from taking action in situations. however after gearing up and increasing in size, they suddenly feel more powerful and feel a need to assert themselves into a place they want to be, becoming the aggressor in situations as a self-confidence booster.
what i found in most my friends who geared up is that you will act similarly on gear as you do when you get drunk. for my friends who would get rowdy and obnoxious while drinking, they would usually get more aggressive while on gear. i myself am a partying drinker (in the rare instances when i do), so while on gear, i'm pretty much just happy and horny.
don't jump into it expecting certain personality changes, as your mind will convince itself of certain reactions and you can inadvertently cause them. go into it with a positive attitude, expect considerable size gains, and focus on your training, diet, and sleep. don't worry about it altering your mental state. you'll still be you bro. if by the slight chance it does make you more irritable, it just becomes a matter of willpower, and can actually be a good thing in increasing your self discipline over your body and mind.
