I need a serious question answered!!!

[marcman77]

just wondering if any of u guys have done cycles while on anti-depressants...the reason i ask im currently on zoloft and lookinf to start a dbol and test cycle....any answers would be greatly appreciated....p.s : gus good seeing u the other night....

[Tiamat]

My personal opinion is don't. AAS plays with your hormones and likely to cause you some problems.

[KINE]

Yes I agree, I wouldn't advise it

[nitrous]

yeah if it was me i'd work on figuring out my own stuff first

[nisser]

If you're already suffering from depression...you probably won't like the added effect once you come of gear.

[marcman77]

i just want to know if there is any kind of adverse reaction or side effects!!

[baza]

As other said it could effect your mood, but not only coming off, but while on as well. At the same time, many SSRIs really kill the libido, and something like testosterone would counteract that.

The only adverse side effects would be your mood could change drastically.
If you want to take that chance it's up to you. But if you suffer from sever depression, you may want to stay away.

howabout if i lower the dosage im on 100mg a day , what if i lower it to 50mg then completely off

[Skyblob]

Well i have anti anxiety .. not anti depressents , but i can tell that a test only cycle was ok for me.. but the hardest mental steroid for me was tren! so deffinatly never go on tren bro!

[baza]

Yeah, I think you'd be fine with test only.

**Oop thought you were original poster lol

[tex]

no drug interactions if thats what your asking. you wont know about mental sides until the test clears.....i would NOT adjust the dose of the zoloft on your own.....when in doubt ask your doc!!

Being prone to depression you will most likely experience an increase in mood swings. DBol is probably good for that because it will be hard to maintain stable blood levels. In addition to that, you will gain size and strength fast which you will mostly loose once you drop the Dbol. It will be hard on your mind when you start dropping weight and strength that fast.
Nolva and CLomid ( which you will need) will also increase the possibility of having depressions. Lots of people report being depressed while taking one of them.
WHen you combine that with a PCT, you will most likely feel like shit. People that are not prone to depression often feel depressed, shitty, down or however you wanna describe it. Trust me, its not fun.

SO yeah, taking steroids with antidepressants will most likely not result in you growing an extra leg or put you in a coffin... but being prone to depression if most likely going to worsen your state of mind. You will run a cycle, no matter what we tell you, but be aware that the risk of having mental side effects will be significantly higher for you then they would be for somebody without depression.
If you have to do it, run a low dose test only cycle ( short one) to see how you respond. You dont wanna end up shut down for two months while battling depression
Btw... you might wanna at least inform your doc or whoever looks after you...

I have to ask before i answer what are you on the head med's for to begin with

[BDH]

Best bet is to run it by your doc and see what he says...

[Timbo89]

id advise against it. I dont see why you would want to chance it. talk to your doctor, he cant do anything for you talking to him about roids.

[Felinecougar]

I just coached a buddy who competed.

He had issues that escalated up to the show. I got him through them with the help of his meds.. "love ya Tav".

but he crashed after the show. 3 weeks in hospital.

If you have issues before......get them treated before you go heavy into training and gear.

[punkrock]

A good majority of people seem to go into a low after their cycle. Some very low and they are lethargic, depressed or even just less energetic.

IF you feel this way already, AAS could really put you through the floor!

Like others have said.

"No", "See a Doctor", and at very least "Wait till you are better"!!
I'd say best of luck, but I'm sure you'll be able to help yourself, and good to see you're asking advice instead of jumping into it blindly.
