I am Bi-polar, I've taken anti depressants before, zoloft being one i disliked the most, followed, by risperdone.. Myself, i don't believe in them, You should be able to level your own moods without anti depressants.
Being on Anabolic Androgenic Steroids (AAS) has smoothed me out large. Also you may want to add more zinc to your diet, this will help control your mood swings..
I'd stay off the anti-D's just my 02.

i take zoloft for social anxiety that set on for some reason like 2 years ago. i started using Anabolic Androgenic Steroids (AAS) after i was on zoloft so i can say the difference.
i also have a anxiety problem, but when i take my meds on a regular basis they subside. not to mention they do help my moods as well. but when i was geared up before i did notice my fuse was a bit shorter and when i did get set off it took a while to calm back down, however i did not take any type of meds at that time. i never did anything destructive or hurt anyone, but i just hate stupidity.

I am currently taking lexapro. It is a anti depressant, anti anxiety. About 3 months after my 1st cycle, I started getting anxiety bad. Doc put me on this and it subsided greatly. Now I'm back on cycle and so far all is well. I've heard of many bro's taking anti D's w/gear and there's no probs. Good luck.

if you really have that much of an issue being around people, yup, you probably have some anxiety issues. nobody here can diagnose you, make an appointment with your doctor to discuss it and you might consider seeing a therapist as well. don't worry about having some stigma about seeing a therapist or being treated for issues either; everybody can benefit from therapy at some point in their life, it can be good to speak to an impartial person about what's going on in your life.

A classic case of social anxiety. Yes, an SSRI such as Zoloft or Prozac or Luvox or Paxil or Celexa may be of great help to you. The only way to know for sure if to try. Zoloft tends to work more quickly than most of the others. If you try one of the others, then be sure to give it a month before you make a decision.rookie03 said:

If you don't mind my asking, do you exhibit manic episodes?big-tymer said:
Other people have different conditions from your own. The SSRIs can really be of aid to some people. It sounds like you have been able to help yourself through mental cognition and if that works, then nothing beats that.

I used to. I used to be so bad that I would break down crying and stay like that for hours, even days. And I’ve also been to the other extreme where I would damn near kill someone in a fight cause I would lose control over myself and black out. I’ve dulled down to my basic mood swings, and when I feel those thoughts coming on I try not to lose my focus. When I was in high school I used to be very athletic and when college hit I dropped out of everything and hit the mind-altering drugs and alcohol, which was when I reached my extreme. Since I got all out of that, back into training, then strong and big enough again to run Anabolic Androgenic Steroids (AAS) I’ve never been better, I call it finding my focus and having something I truly love and enjoy to focus on. This way I can control these mood swings. I've also met a few people who enabled me to spill my life story, which also makes it easier when someone listens and opinionates.
I recently met a girl who has had a past much harsher then mine; we've spent hours talking about how therapy has helped her be where she is today. And now she helps kids who experience same episodes such as her, myself, and even half of you guys. I truly believe talk to your friends, or a loved one, educate yourself and them on your disorder, and keep your focus, you can deal with and or over-come any of this, and I know I did. Anti-depressants are only a short-term solution to a life long problem in my opinion.
I'm sure by reading some of my posts on here you guys can even see how my moods change. It's very mild, but being hand cuffed, in cop cars, in jail, in hospitals are all memory’s I never wish to live again....
I definitely don't mind talking about it. It took me years to get a grip on my moods.

ya man dont be embarassed to go see a doc about a anxiety disorder. there is nothing wrong with it at all, there is help around you. some signs of a bi-polar disorder is needs for adrenaline rushes, massive spending when you know you dont have the money. that is just what was spoken to me when i saw a therapist when thy were merely diagnosing me.
mer personally i liked 100+ mph on a street bike. but that is not for everyone, but i dont think that makes me manic.

well massive spending, or adrenaline rushes are nothing compaired to what being bi-polar is really like.
But i did Solo, Bracket/drag race for 8 years. And held an undefeated drag title in my class for several years.. I can relate to you on the speed thing.. close to 100k later i decided to tone it down a little, toys get expensive really quick, especially when you break 'em. *pause* then the depression kicks in.. heh
