Can AAS cause paranoia and anxiety?

[bigdog123]

I am wondering if using AAS long term can exacabate the above problems. If someone is prone to these, can using AAS increase it?

I would have thought using AAS increases ones confidence and if prone to depression would improve this condition therefore not making someone MORE depressed or anxious..

Is tren likely to be a bigger culprit than say straight test?

My test/dbol cycles have only made me more confident.

I am currently on Tren-A @ 700mg/week and Test-P at 300mg/week. No sides, and I have no 'mental' or 'emotional' issues.

Its not an uncommon side effect. I've seen a few complaints of increased anxiety and panic attacks on this forum

I think you need to be specific. I have never heard of test causing anxiety but I certainly have heard plenty of people having anxiety issues with eq. I wouldn't be surprised if some people have anxiety issues with tren as well, it certainly winds you up.

When i ran tren my anxiety went through the roof.

I cant touch the stuff.

When I ran Test and Deca I got anxiety. I think it was just the higher overall amount of AAS that got me. I dropped the Deca and it went away. I will have to try a lower dose of both together sometime to see what happens.

When you say anxiety, what do you all specifically mean?

I`m talking about being very anxious in general, being over worried about things/people etc..

I tend to have a little anxiety anyway. With the increased dose I had a few short panic attacks where my heart started pounding real hard sitting at my desk. I just felt overwhelmed all the time.

It has potential to increase anxiety but their are many factors, and its impact can be viewed also as in direct.

For example it can be likely to have an increase in anxiety if your dosing schedule & substances of choice are off. Say your gap between doses of test are longer in duration than the ester it self. Your mini crash in testosterone could definitely increase symptoms of anxiety in some environments. So in this case its not the AAS but lack of.

I also think on the flip side too much androgenic symptoms can do the same in certain scenarios/environments make your trigger points my sensitive.

Much also has to do with the person if you naturally experience anxiety, HRT/TRT or a cycle may eliminate it, add to it slightly, or make it worse or better once you cycle off. On the other hand I think if you never experience anxiety any symptoms would be much more rare. This is kind of like the theory that "AAS can make some assholes bigger assholes".

I notice that tren makes me a little anxious... but thats about it.... everything else has a positive effect on my mental state...
