I don't think there are any studies on it but it depends on the person. Weight training could be addictive if you don't have a healthy out look.
 
You know it. The psychological mind knows the physiological body can perform, grow, or look as hard as fuckin nails without AAS, or should I say, not nearly to the same extent.
 
Anything that makes you feel GOOD can be addictive. why? because everyone loves to feel good :D

This is my tree find your own. And I tie junebugs on a string before I eat them.
 
psychologically addictive??? hell yes, i want to be on them and i feel better when i am on them. Now true addiction means it interferes with normal day to day activity, it doesnt for me, it helps. ut i think they are addictive to the brain not the body. I dont have withdrawls when i quit, i just wish i could go back on.
 
I think it's all about will-power.

IMO< way too many punks and kids get on AS and crash after getting off w/o PCT!!! now there's the answer to 99% of AS complaints, HIGH ESTROGEN! post-cycle.

most newbies/kids/moron, think AS is some type of miracle that will make them the next pimp at their local party, but it wont - they use it, abuse it, mis-use it and then go bitch and moan how steroids made them think of suicide...hey buddy! I got suicide for you, you're 130lbs. trying to use steroids - IDIOT! (without PCT to top it off).

are steroids addictive? no more then cigs or alcohol...

I would rate alcohol at about 7-8 on the addiction scale; steroids at about 1 for normal people and 3 for people with no self control!

And that is how steroids get their bad rep. People who don't know what nolvadex is, and other ancillaries.
 
Of course you feel all big and bad while on, but you better have the will power to control it and know what the hell you are doing, otherwise, you are asking for all kinds of trouble...and this is coming from someone off only for a month and planning my next two cycles. Sure it would be fun to hop right back on, but mentally and physically, it would be a huge mistake. Do it the right way - or don't do it at all.

Gear is abused by morons. Mr X is right on the money.

shark, what's a junebug? How many grams of protein?

City boys....LOL....a junebug is a big ol beetle that will rip your finger off if you get too close. Other than that they are harmless.
 
I do think that they can be addictive. I LOVE the feeling of being on. Not only great workouts but increased libido, and the sleep I get when on test is so refreshing and deep it is great. I think it is like anything; it can be taken overboard and get out of hand, and my OPINION is that these are the people that die of unusual issues such as heart attacks at age 35, or dieing on the football/baseball field, and they find 3 times the reccomended dosage of ephedra in your system in 100 degree weather, etc, etc. Using common sense and moderation they are great, but some people can't stop at that point and they head down the road of addiction in it's many disguises.

put 'em in the freezer for a little while, it makes em stop moving and it's easier to get the string on them. then when they thaw out, the fun starts !

i thought i was the only asshole that tied junebugs to a string !

no no no, the june bug is not the big black one with the pinchers on the front, i cant remember what that bad boy is called.

the junebug is the little fat one, kinda round like he's all bloated, and he's a really shiny irridescent purple color. looks like a marble with wings.
they will fly around all fucking day on a string doing big circles and shit.
 
Based on all my addiction studies up until now, I have to conclude that steroids can be HIGHLY psychologically addictive.
 
Our bodies are one big chemical factory, Biology 101, if you have a genic predisprosition to additive behavior you can become addicted to almost anything, inclcuding steroids.
 
I am addicted to Elitefitness, too many great people here.

I myself am still wet behind the ears with a six week Anavar cycle finished up in early July with proper PCT. I did keep most of my gains, but the strength loss from when I came off was really depressing to me. Now on my next cycle Test E 400-500mgs and T-Bol 40mgs ,I will know it's part of the game and the strength gain will decrease when coming off. Next time I will know to kick it down a notch on the volume of my training.

Yeah what a site.......a post about addictive AAS lends to more discussion about junebugs. I have a feeling that I will never read or hear again as long as I live the phrase "looks like a marble with wings".

K restrictions in effect, damn, too funny.

Addiction is a very complicated thing. It has a number of parts. Some people can be physically addicted to things and some pyschologically addicted to things. Both of these seperately are usually easy to conquer. Now when you combine the two you have a full blow addiction as with (crack, herion, cigs, alcohol) all of which are a two part addiction and are very diffcult for people to quit. These type of addictions also trend to have withdrawl symptoms that are pretty bad (herion, can some times cause death) to pretty mild (cigs). I do believe that without proper self control that someone can and will become addticted to steriods. Just my opinion though.

Steroids, if taken too long, may even be physically addicting. If you suppress yourself to the point of shut down where there is no possibility of recovery, then you will not be able to function properly physically without the drug. Granted, you probably won't die like with alcohol, but your body will become dependent on frequent doses in order to function. By definition, this is a physical addiction. There's also no doubt that they are psychologically addicting as well. I studied with a heroin rehab specialist who helped vets kick the habit. When dealing with pure, unaldultered heroin, death from withdrawl is practically non-existent. Alcohol and barbituates, however, can cause death from withdrawl once you become physically dependent.

The problem is most if not all herion is not pure no money in that. It is most always cut. I agree you can become physically addicted that way you can also become physicall addicted just out of habit. The physical addiction to cigs is just the habit of doing it everyday and the same can happen with steroids.

You're right, most, if not all, heroin deaths are due to complications from the drug's impurity. The doc I studied with dealt mostly with vietnam vets who were getting it pure in the jungles overseas.

That would be the only way to get it pure. Anywathing in the states has been cut at the very least twice.
 
Anything with a positive result can become psychologically addictive. Shit I was addicted to lifting before I ever touched juice.
 
Steroids are very addictive to me... I can control it, but I love being on cycle. The problem is that being on is so good, that when your off it just sucks in comparison.
 
I think steroids *can* be addictive, but they are not inherently addictive. Here are some of the common signs of substance dependence (excerpted from "Addiction for Dummies"):

- Experiencing tolerance, which is a need to use a markedly increasing amount of the substance to get the same effect, or a markedly diminished effect using the sam amount

- Experiencing withdrawl symptoms with use of the substance is stopped, or taking other medications to relieve withdrawl symptoms

- The substance is taken in larger amounts or over a longer time period than initially intended

- There is a persistent desire or unsuccessful efforts to cut down or control use

- A great deal of time is spent in activities necessary to obtain the substance, or being preoccupied with how you will get more dominates your daily thoughts

- Important social, occupational or recreational activities are neglected or abandoned because of substance use

- The substance use is continued despite knowledge of having a persistent or recurring psychological or physical problem related to substance use​

Medical criteria for substance abuse:

- Recurrent substance use resulting in a failure to filfill major role obligations at work, home or school.

- Recurrent substance use in situations where it is physically hazardous

- Recurrent substance-related legal problems

- Continued substance use despite having persistent or recurrent social or interpersonal problems caused or worsened by substance use (for instance arguments with your spouse about the consequences of use)​

Basically, each of you can look at these criteria as applied to your own situation. If at three or more of them apply to you, then you probably have an addiction problem.
 
excellent topic this as many sides of AAS are posted but what is not discussed is the possible physiological issues. We have all heard of roid rage but with more and more research being conducted this is the official stance (official UK NHS stance):
Administration of AS may affect behavior. Increased testosterone levels in the blood are associated with masculine behavior, aggressiveness and increased sexual desire. Increased aggressiveness may be beneficial for athletic training, but may also lead to overt violence outside the gym or the track. There are reports of violent, criminal behavior in individuals taking AS. Other side effects of AS are euphoria, confusion, sleeping disorders, pathological anxiety, paranoia, and hallucinations.
Anabolic steroid users may become dependent on the drug, with symptoms of withdrawal after cessation of drug use. The withdrawal symptoms consist of aggressive and violent behavior, mental depression with suicidal behavior, mood changes, and in some cases acute psychosis. At present it is unknown which individuals are particularly at risk. It is likely that great individual differences in responsiveness may exist. Some individuals try to minimize the withdrawal affects by administration of human choriogonadotropins (hCG), in order to enhance endogenous testosterone production. However, it is unknown in how far the hCG administration is successful in ameliorating the withdrawal effects.

I will not say I agree with all the comments above but evidence does show that long term AS can cause distorted thinking (i.e. depression, anxiety etc).
