I FOUND THAT THE ONE THING THAT HELPS ME IS TO BREATHE DEEPLY AND SLOWLY. WHEN I WAS A TEEN I HAD A SERIOUS ANGER PROBLEM THAT TOOK ME STRAIGHT TO JAIL. PUTTING MY HAND THROUGH WINDSHIELDS AND DOORS AND PEOPLE. MY FIRST SIGN OF RAGE IS ALWAYS SHAKING AND HARD BREATHING. I HAVE EVEN WENT AS FAR AS GETTING TEARY-EYED PISSED SEVERAL TIMES. IT'S HARD BUT IT CAN BE CONTROLLED. ALWAYS THINK BEFORE YOU REACT. I

Yeah, i sure do,if you can feel it coming on walk away.
I have to drop everything and walk away,cause
if I can see myself snap before I actualy do
then it is already to late.

But I don't think that it is the gear.

Anyway women always complain that men don't
xprs thier feelings, well?

My outburst can be scary. on or off AS. If it's real bad go to your Doc. and ask him to put you on Celexa 40mg/day. puts Prozac to shame. It's made the world a nicer place, for me.

yeah I've seen acouple of buddies overeact or experience "excitation"ie roid rage.I used to have a bad temper,bottled it all up in a tight ball and it would all come out at my friends and family.I just didn't have the tools to deal with my emotions.I think a lot of what the guys said about breathing exercises and meditation helps out.I found if I channeled all that aggression into my workouts and let myself be angry it really helped out.My wife and I have a rules in dealing with each others anger;1)we can cuss,but not at each other-that just makes you angrier,2)if you feel like you can't stay calm or not cuss at them,then go for a run or a walk until you can cintrol yourself.
You just have to see what works for you and develop a personal plan of action for when you get mad.If you don't plan ahead,one of these days you might do something you can't take back or that you will regret for a long time.manana...

yup...I'm bad during an off cycle and worse on a cycle...I'm usually pissed off the entire three months following a heavy cycle...it seems like most lifters have a slightly worse temper than the rest of society...must be because we're what's left of the "warrior class"...just my 2 cents...-x

Sounds all to familliar, I beleive it could be controlled if you take time to think about it, usually I get pissed at the littlist shit like when I forget how to spell, but if you lash out at your girlfriend, I dont know, save it for the weight room. I do but there is still the occasional uprising you jus6t cant hold in. and I have found most are unstoppable.

I have a bad temper, and i've never done gear before. I smoke alot of pot, that relaxes me and i wouldn't snap at anyone when i'm stoned. But i just stoped smoking because i'm going to start my first cycle Thursday. So i hope i don't get any more rage when i'm on it since i'm not going to be smoking. I noticed me getting pissed off sometimes and i try to calm myself down, and it works, but usually about 30 seconds later someone else pisses me off again and i flip out. I just hate most people, they SUCK!!!!! I'm going to try some of the ideas that people have posted. If anyone has a good suggestion, please let us know.

Have anger? Play rugby! Nothing gets your aggressions out better than hitting people, lots of people. In rugby that's just the nature of the game. And there's always someone out there on the field who's bigger and stronger than you. Give a beating, take a beating. I might be pissed off about work, school, or women on Friday, but after playing rugby I'm calm as a kitten. You get to do things on the field that you would normally get arrested for on the street. Don't bottle it up, find an outlet!

Discipline.............You know that it is there so control it. I know it happens to me. Knowing that it is there you learn to heed the warning signs and control it and stop it. Take pride in the fact that you are the master of your body, mind and your emotions. Exercise every part of your soul but make yourself control it. I found that learning to control by anger gave me great pride and was something that I could share with myself. Sometimes the spirtual things are the best. GOOD LUCK

Motorhed, don't you have trouble getting it off when on 40 mg a day of celexa? I sure did, bad stuff for me at least @ 20 mg a day. Serzone makes the day tolerable for me, @ 250 mg a day, I split one in half and take it twice a day. Celexa is like chemocastration for me. I don't recommend it, or prozac, same shitty results.

My brother is absolutely psycho, and should be on medication for psychosis, I mean it. This idiot should be fucking locked up for the public's safety. He has way too many fire arms, and is deadly accurate, I'm glad I don't live with him ANYMORE, if he's continues his shit talk I'm going to call the cops my self. Any one have to do this before? Because I'm afraid he's loosing it big time.He is quite insane. My mom even says so, and he's been in treatment for mental trouble before, so with his history it won't take much to get the cops to listen to me...Thanks, we all have our demons, I just leave mine at home, he takes his with him all the time.

I can tell you this. I do not get any more rage when I am on, it's just the potential for damage is far more when you do boil over, and if you are thinking about an anger management class, do anything you think will help you. Including what the other bro's reccomend. They probably learned it from the pain they caused other people they loved, and still love even if that other person does not love them or cannot let themself love them anymore. If this makes any kind of sense.

Aiigghhtt! Enough of this lovey, dovey, fuzzy wuzzy shit!
Lift on and keep it together!
Peace bro's

Frankly, Naughty, while I generally appreciate your posts, and while I am sympathetic with your anger problem, I think this post was bullshit.

I remember having a couple of anger "flashes" during my cycle, which was by normal standards heavy. Yet I quickly understood that mental discipline -- the same stuff that keeps us focused at the gym -- is the key. There is really no need to suffer from any kind of "rage."

I'm sorry if you feel an uncontrollable rage, either in general or while on gear. And I'm glad I don't suffer similarly.

This pathetic, a collaborative bragging exercise. You guys are proud because you dont have the basic skills to control your infantile bad tempers. I got news for ya, I am on the same boat, but I dont think its cool to lash out at family. Your promoting the sterotype, and perpetuating more negativity towards athletes on AS.
Its obvious that if your predisposed to being an asshole; the introduction of drugs whether it be alcohol or AS isnt going to help your disposition. But, you people know this, as I do. As a result you should be doing your best to prevent such behavior from ever manifesting.
Its difficult to do, and can be frustrating,I know. But, each individual who does so, provides conclusive evidence that we are not emotional bound by our endocrine system. Through intellect and reason we can overide our biological predispositions towards a particular behavior.
If AS use turns you as an asshole into a bigger asshole, then perhaps you dont have emotional development to handle them.
Im not preeching to you gentlemen, so dont be to offended, but I dont think you serve your cause well by bragging about this.

The only time I have any type of roid rage is when I use Anadrol. I can use pretty big amounts of anything, but I just hate how stupid I can get on A-50.Thank God I don't use that shit anymore
