bigtrainThe only thing which broke my clinical deep ass dark dreary life sucks and everything is grey depression was good old testosterone. SSRIs, Tricyclics, all failed. Test works. Still does.
Ive taken both at the same time and had no issues.
My advice is to remember how you feel without the meds and while on cycle, never forget it. No matter how good you feel in cycle, do not stop taking the meds or playing with doses. Being on cycle can make you feel fantastic but pct can bring you back down to earth quickly so no need to make it harder by tweaking meds.
thanks for all your guys input...
sounds like good advise .. I am taking aromasin now at 12.5 eod 500mg of test e a week it seems to be fine been on cycle almost 6.5 weeks now...
WithdrawlI'm diagnosed as bi polar, although I'm not sure that's accurate. Anyway, I'm only on one anti depressant at the moment but I used to be on a cocktail of drugs, lol. My biggest tip for you is the keep your estrogen levels down. That has made a HUGE difference in how I feel. I can use a large amount and variety of steroids with no issues mentally, as long as I keep my estrogen down. If I don't take an AI, my mental issues start coming out. So you really need to use an AI on every cycle. Everyone should be doing it anyway, but it's more important for guys like us who are on antidepressants. Estrogen can cause all kinds of emotional issues and we're more prone to them so always use an AI. My personal favorite is aromasin. Arimidex works well too.
BigBmajThanks for that advice. I'm usually only estrogen conscious when it comes to nips but maybe mood is a big one too. I'm going to start taking 6.25 Aro daily and see what happens.
You got a lot of good shit in that bipolar head of yours.
WithdrawlLMAO! I'm really not convinced I'm bi polar because I was also a drug addict at the time I was repeatedly diagnosed. They never once asked if I used recreational drugs, lol. Idiots!
BigBmajI was diagnosed too. Manic on coke and depressed on heroin was probably closer to the truth.
They are crazy with their diagnoses.
WithdrawlLOL exactly!
I know A LOT of people,athletes who use anti-D drugs like Prozac etc... with no problems.
You just have to be careful and keep things in order.
JHI personally would advise you to stay away from aas usage specially if you don't know how you're going to react. Your condition seems pretty serious to me.I would suggest maybe try in a little bit of test at 200 milligrams a week and slowly moving up just to see if you can handle it.also take into consideration what happens when you have to come off it and the mood swings at that point.
eagle globe and anckor...
its hard to walk out of one world and into another..so now im coming out of that wanna get my old body back..
depression and anger management basically
ive seen a lot of death and it started to effect me .. basically I got depressed.. I take 100 mg of Zoloft a day now wich seems to help. I was on Depakote litheium and buspar.. after a couple years I managed to get it down to just one and things are okay
JHPct is going to be the issue as stated earlier. What r u on antidepressants for and how serious of a condition mau also dictate on aas usage.
I am on mertazipine and amyltriptamine and it doesnt affect me in fact i feel better on a cycle as your confidence goes up and when youre training hard your focusing youre energys.

Sry misinformation.. Was ment for the OP
not asking for doctors opinion, already had that... just wanted other guys experience on running a cycle while on anti.... I take Zoloft 100mg a day..im running test e at 500 mg a week 12,
.5 aromasin eod. 6 weeks into cycle
BigBmajSeriously bro I wouldn't worry about. I'd just make sure you are aware that mood may fall off during PCT, just like everyone here mentioned. I think you will be fine.
During PCT add the following it may help -
Curcumin
5 HTP
SAMe
Other things like PS and anti cortisol nutrients help too.
I like Phenibut but that's a touchy issue because it can be addictive. It helps my mood so much I can hardly live without it tho.
If you want any other suggestions PM me I'd be happy to help. Been fighting a fucked up mood since I was like 6. Testosterone is one of the things that helped the most.
I take wellbutrin and vyvanse daily and run cycles. Never had any issues to be honest. I noticed in pct I feel more down in the dumps but thats pct lol.
i've used test, deca, eq, tren, masteron, anavar, anadrol, dbol, proviron
out of all those steroids I noticed dbol really helps improve mood, so does proviron and masteron.
BigBmajWhat about prami? I've heard good things about that helping mood. I've stayed away because I'm already nauseous all the time, but maybe low dose would help mood too.
I use lexapro. I don't even bother with PCT anymore its too hard on the brain for me. I just drop to 150 mg test weekly. I've got one son and that's plenty
How do you sleep taking all that vyvanse and butrin? I would be awake all night, I already am, but that would be even worse. I really liked wellbutrin for mood but it made me anxious.
yup vyvanse wb and TREN and I sleep perfect - 9 hours each night. the GHRP peptides help quite a bit.
prami has never made me nauseous and I've dosed it up to 2mg per night. I like prami it does help with mood but its a weird drug lol.
I've been on Celexa for about 4 months now and have been running my first cycle for about 5 weeks (Test Cyp 750/wk) and also have been on TRT (100/wk) for about 6 months. The only issue that I have been experiencing is that Celexa is it makes me sleepy but yet I can only get about 5-6 hours of sleep in per night and it's not a good 5-6. Lots of tossing and turning. It also jacked with my appetite for the first few weeks where I really wasn't hungry and lost about 5-6 lbs. That did go away though and I'm up about 12 lbs since I started my AAS cycle.
I haven't run Tren because I've heard that can increase anxiety which is why I'm on Celexa and I don't want to risk messing with that. So I'd keep my eye on anxiety if you are going to run Tren.
Hope this helps bro. Good luck with your situation.
LiebowNone of us are Doctors friend, none of us can give you a green light and say its safe or not. We're all rolling the dice as it is by playing with medicines.
I can give you my professional opinion if you like, but Id need to know what anti-depressant and what cycle you'd think of running?
whats Oh cycle??
I will keep a sharp eye out for any changes in behavior..what would be the protocol to quit a cycle if I had too...
Depends on the individual bro and the extent of your trauma. I've taken anti's on cycle and off and never had an issue but that doesn't mean you won't
WeatherwedDepression and steroids don't mix. Oh cycle you might be fine, but PCT is where the potential problem is.
helps knowing others are doing the same... thanks man
juice12345678I take Viibryd and Klonopin every day....and I have ZERO problems
I don't think you should worry too much about the effects....that's what the meds. are for brother....
If I have a flare up of anxiety I pop another Klonopin etc.
Hope that helps
how about during pct
juice12345678I tend to feel a little bit anxious because levels are all out of WACK and the clomid makes me lightheaded but by the time I'm two weeks in to pct I'm good to go
Like I said the Klonopin cures it right up
my first pct was BAD Im anxious about my next one coming up in a few weeks
ya I was the same way. felt CRAZY
