For those that get anxiety

[xpac2]

IMO an often very overlooked reason for anxiety
..too much gear & not enough food

How did an Anxiety thread get the classic "not enough food" comment?????

How did an Anxiety thread get the classic "not enough food" comment?????

^^^THAT'S EASY ..you'r on an AAS board ..AAS is the "common denominator" between all of us

..putting your body into chemically induced "anabolic-overdrive"
& then depriving it of the "sustenance/nourishment" that it needs to function properly/thrive in that "accelerated-anabolic" state by undereating is naturally going to increase stress & contribute to anxiety

..the more you "step on the gas" with the AAS dose ..and/or the more you under-eat ..the greater the stress & greater the potential for that stress to manifest as anxiety

..a lil confused as to why "not enough food" strikes you as a such a foreign concept, or as an "unrelated" potential source of stress for an AAS user??

Here is a new study on Ashwagandha that just got released:

Effects of Withania somnifera (Ashwagandha) on Stress and the Stress- Related Neuropsychiatric Disorders Anxiety, Depression, and Insomnia - PubMed

While benefits were seen in the reviewed studies, significant variability in the WS extracts examined prevents a consensus on the optimum WS preparation or dosage for treating neuropsychiatric conditions. WS generally appears safe for human use; however, it will be important to investigate...

Anyone tried the Shoden extract and notice any difference to other extracts?

I've never tried shoden. I have had good results with Sensoril and minimal results with KSM-66.
If dosing Ashwagandha exact I tally up the total withanolides. I was consuming more withanolides from Sensoril at a fraction of the cost that Shoden would fetch.

Ashwagandha may lower cortisol and help with the body to handle stress. From my research there is not a direct effect on anxiety per say.

What are you getting from it then if not anxiety relief?

Help with hypervigilance, not necessarily anxiety. When one is hypervigilant, say a combat veteran for example, the body is imbalanced between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. Sympathetic referred to as Fight or Flight (or Freeze) and Parasympathetic as Rest and Digest. Cortisol is one of the primary hormones secreted during fight or flight. Withanolides found in Ashwagandha Extract effectively lower cortisol. This is why Ashwagandha is said to help the body deal with stress.

EQ is the worst for me in regards to causing anxiety. Tren is next. I have yet to figure out a way to completely stop the anxiety with these two drugs. That’s why I switched over to test and trestolone/Ment. I feel great and don’t lose my sex drive like I do on deca.

Oh I know what hypervigilance is. I’m definitely a classic case. I’m gonna have to look into this because I would love some relief from being in a constant alert state

Considering what you do for a living, isn't hypervigilance a necessity?

It is….but it would be nice not to feel that way about everything all the time. I can’t even unwind at home most of the time

 

[Papa Van Smack]

Lots of good replies here.
For feelgood....test/deca/dbol

On a side note, like others have said frequently, pining more frequently seems to be of benefit. So I'll mix up my test so that prop is included on m/w/f and I've found that I "feel" very good that way. Very strong too, probably not a good cutting cycle lol.

(I had it written down) At a time when I was dealing with severe anxiety I started taking 149.5 mg of Withanolides primarily from Sensoril. It made a huge difference. I could think with a clear head and compose myself during frustrating circumstances. Any anxiety that was present was mitigated simply through breathing exercises and a short walk if I had the option.
