Psychological effects of use

[ToolManSam]

We hear lots of talk about sides but not much regarding the emotional effects of using. At least I haven't read anything about it.

As some of you are aware I am not a user yet but rather gathering information before I decide to start my 1st cycle. I have NO idea when that'll be.
First I am looking to hit me peak and lower my bf (I Posted my stats and introductory thread if you would like to review first)

Anyways, I am curious the emotional effects of using during , while coming off and after

I have read some medical articles about the health benefits of testosterone use; mostly for HRT

With little trust in doctors has anyone ever decide to use testosterone for pure health related benefits? It seems you could increase your testosterone levels to a safe level with safe dosages and longer cycle and use of blood work

That may be a bit off topic as that is not what I will be looking to do.

Any feedback on experiences with high and low emotional states would greatly be appreciated. Hopefully those experienced while using good sense and not full out abuse; that I don't care to hear but share if you wish

I only do a TRT dose of Test and EQ and I always feel like a million dollars while on. I have a sense of well being that is a positive side effect of raising ones Test levels and keeping your blood levels stable. Now, if you are talking about more harsher compounds such as Drol and Tren then abuse of these 2 will provide lethargy from the Drol and I always had insomnia and increased aggression issues while on Tren.. I only run Test and EQ now due to such things.

thank you. This is what I was kind of looking for. Do you have mild sensations of feeling down when coming off?

I need to read up more on EQ. I am looking at a Test E only cycle (with Ai's and PCT's of course)

Sorry to sort of high jack but what kind of doses are we talking about with the EQ Arabian ?

And believe it or not some cycles that are harsher I find myself feeling much better and happier healthier when coming off without crashing, I've yet to experience a "crash" or down feeling coming off cycle.

Definitely when using a moderate dose of test one feels almost euphoric but I find when coming off I don't feel down, just more human ?

So now a days you keep the test at TRT and just add EQ to blast? Interesting. Not to get OT but what dose and duration bro?


...and to the OP.... It will give you the mental feeling of "wow this sucks...I'm getting weaker, lifts are down, don't feel like superman anymore ect"

Don't get sucked in. It is what it is. Lift the weights you can lift without injuring yourself. Take more rest days.

I highly suggest you read the pct thread in my sig.

when you come off PCT is crucial but most important is already being commited BEFORE you touch steroids.. this way you know how to lift not just on cycle but off as well.

the problem is some guys get sucked in like burn said because they start lifting a short time and then jump on the sauce so they are incapable of lifting without it. with SARM's and the amazing supplements out there especially like T stack Rx you can recover quickly from cycle and still get that on feeling even off hormones

There's this fuck at my gym who is on like his 3rd cycle. I saw him when he started lifting. Skinny, pot belly, ect.... awful form. He wasn't lifting 3-4 months before his first cycle. Zero base, finished two cycles and STILL didn't even look like he even worked out!! Now is mid 3rd cycle and still hase the same shape as when he started lifting but just a little more visual volume. Smooth, no muscle definition at all.

^^^ The point is, he cant lift natural because he never (and still hasn't) learned how to train and diet naturally to get real results. So he gets shit results from AAS. If you are using AAS like this jerk off is....for a short cut and making the AAS do all the work you will get nothing from it and when you come off you will feel like shit, everything will hurt, your attitude will be shit ect.

I can tell you when I used to cycle, before TRT there definitely was a mild depression after. You get over it and move forward.

Being on TRT, I dont get that. I either feel great (TRT), or awesome (on cycle/blast). There's really no down period. Definitely not for everyone though, and it's a life long commitment.

I appreciate Any responses. I know I will cycle but it is matter of when I am ready and committed and when I am confident I know what I am doing; blood work and what to look for, AI's, PCT's...

I will stand up and say this for any newbie like me. This shit is really overwhelming trying to digest. Maybe I'm just slow, lol..I have to read, read something else and go back again. I have read just the PCT threads over and over

As far as lift strength and the latter, I think I will be okay. I assume you would have to reduce volume and increase rest days and do your damnedest to hold strength (this will be another source research down the road, how to train coming off, prob heavy compound lifts with little assistance work, rest and STRICTIST nutrition)

Anyways moving on..I'd like to take the time to address everyone who took the time to reply

Thank you
