I have had both and they still linger in the back of my cerebellum.
The psychological effects of gear on people like us are one of the least studied and alked about topics in this game i m o.
From 01- post katrina I was an emotional fkn trainwreck....career ending injury and some overprescribing doc s almost took me out..permanently.
For me test really is the ultimate anti depressant..and yes when going over my testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) I run an Aromatase inhibitor (AI) regularly. I get an elevated mood from test.
Raised estro level s can, for people like us especially, make us more prone to all of the above.
I deal with anxiety issues with working out...long light aerobics, yard work..stay busy out doors...in the sun.
post cycle therapy (pct) will , potentially be a bitch but does not have to be. chlomd is is better but it has made friends of mine weepy and more emotional. No biggie bro.
Remeber along with your innate propensity for depression and anxiety will be made more pronounced when the gear stops.. It s normal..just probably gona be more pronounced in your ase.
What mental drug s do you take ? I ve never encountered or read any adverse reactions with gear and ssri s or benzo s..
If your not on a benzo( xanax, ativan, valium, klonopin)..please do not start..the relief you experience is a feeling you ll not want to let go.
Anxiety attack s can ussually be addressed with a bottle of water, a meal and doing anything but letting it continue happening.
I ll iron at 3 am or walk the seawall and fuck with cocky homeless people vz sit there and freak out.
I hope this shed some light.
