steroids with anti-depressants

[bluesteal]

hello everyone,

My friend who has been on anti-depressants since a child is wanting to start a cycle. I was just wondering if anyone knows if there are any contradictions between test/orals and Zoloft (anti-depressant). He takes 50 mg a day of Zoloft, and hasn't planed a cycle yet due to his lack of information on the effects that the drugs will have on his body with his other medication. Does anyone have any idea if this would be a problem?

Thanks in Advance.

only problem i can see is how he will handle coming off during PCT

You'd be surprised how many bodybuilders or AAS users also suffer from mood disorders/depression and (hopefully) are also taking prescribed antidepressant meds. Therefore doubt he'd be the first cuz I never read of any problems from combining the two......

Exactly...

No physical problem with combining the two. Mentally well thats dependant on the persons mental state. If there depressed to the point of being unstable and unpredictable their state would seem to fragile to risk a pct and complicate the issues. If the guys got it well under control and can hack the pct and time off before he starts pct as it clears the system i have not heard any adverse reactions as of yet and i personally researched it.

thanks for the input. Hes a pretty stand up guy and i think he should be able to handle coming off. The only thing i was worried about was during but i think hes going to go for it. thanks again :)

you gotta be a sick doctor to feed kids mood altering substance... Never he will be mentally stable since his brain will be permanently affected.

During should be fine....... Coming off is what he should be worried about, not many people say they feel depressed while their on.

Bad idea IMHO. Theres a lot of non-depressed people who become depressed coming off, if your already being treated for depression....... It won't be good.
