Mixing steroids and anti-depressants

[mlanson]

I'm planning on going on a 3 month cycle, (my first) once i've done the research and my guide gets me started.

I am however on anti-depressents, the lowest dosage of celexa (10 mg p/d). My doctor says that steroids are a depressant... And advises against it, but what's she going to say right? She'd advise against it anyway. She also advises against drinking because it's a depressant. Plenty of people drink while on ssri's and are fine.

Is there anyone on this list who can tell me anything about their experience of being on both juice and ssri's?

I wonder if it's something I should really worry about or not. I will do some of my own research of course online.

As far as other drugs go, I don't take any, and I drink seldom.

Feedback is greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

M.

Welcome to the board !!

What sort of cycle are we talking about......and 3 months is an aweful long time to be on a first cycle.

stats?

I am more concerned about the length of this first cycle than I am the SSRI's mixed with AAS.

 

[mlanson]

oh really?

thanks I'll pass this on to my guide.

Mind you I still have a lot of studying to do on my own, before I do anything but I'll be sure and say something to my guy.

Hey man, I'm into my 3rd week on Lexapro and I was considering going back on , mabe 250mg of Sustanon / week Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) doses. How are u feeling doing both and is the Lexapro still working for anxiety.

It's not a big deal but you shouldn't be using loads of other crap when your on cycle unless your on a small cycle, the last thing you need is a big ass cycle and then a few meds with it.

Testosterone actually helps battle depression in many men, so taking an SSRI during a cycle should be fine. The reason so many people think that gear causes depression is due to the post-cycle crash that so many experience, especially without proper PCT.

I used to take an SSRI. It helped my fatigue type depression maybe 2%. When I started on Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT), I discontinued my SSRI. A couple of weeks later, I was maybe 5% better. It was enough to get me going, and every week since has been better and better (it is several months later now). I stopped drinking as well. I benefits of not drinking outweigh that of drinking.

Might want to get your free testosterone checked. It is a good thing to do before a cycle anyway, and if it just happens to be low, then you should resolve that.

What are your stats? age, weight, bf%, years lifting, etc. What is _your_ reason for wanting to do a cycle?
