Discussion About Mental and Physical Long Term Damage

Hey guys.

Just curious if anyone has endured what they believe to be some type of permanent change in their body or mind from AAS use. The reason that I ask is because I feel that this may be the case with me. I did a few cycles of M1T about ten years ago. I remember that my life seemed to change at this time. The main change that I observed was that my mind was not as clear. I seemed to have lost a little bit of my edge. Before my cycles I was kind of the center of attention. I became less assertive even in very friendly situations like joking around with friends. My libido changed at this point too. I remember I could get it up several times a night. After the cycle that was no longer the case. My general mental disposition was more down. I have battled with depression off and on since this time but my baseline mood is always a little lower than it was before my cycles. I smile less.

I have been to several doctors who always gave me the ol "oh your fine treatment". The best help I could get was an antidepressant Rx. I think I finally may have finally found a doctor that will help me with my situation. I have spoken to her for an hour and described all of my symptoms in detail and she is going to bloodwork on absolutely everything. From neurotransmitters to thyroid to sex hormones. I am hoping that this is finally it.

has anyone experienced any permanent change, no matter how minor?
 
I believe the old school ph like androstendione and 1AD Etc. Screwed up my sex drive because i took them when i was young and we did not pct otc stuff back in the day. Libido was never quite the same (not 100% of what it was previous) Also i think clen and stims plus probably to a lesser extent gear caused my heart issue back in the mid-00's.
 
How old were you when you did your 1st cycle??? What was your pct at that time, if any???
 
I was the tender age of 22. I did do a healthy PCT each cycle which consisted of research grade Clomid. I remember my first PCT, I didn't miss a beat and had sex with my girlfriend about 6 times while her parents slept in the next room. Hormones were raging. The second PCT, I had my first bout of ED. It blew my mind. Nothing like that had ever come close to happening before. Ever since then, it was like something was just different.

I had done alot of research on this board actually. I had a different screen name at that time. I spent hours upon hours researching and reading logs about guys gaining massive amounts on muscle in a short amount of time. It sounded so good.
 
well hell, you sound just like me... Messed around with AAS around that same age, did some cycles on and off up to age 26 or so then only had access to prohormones that I tried out in my early 30's.. I too have the same down and out kind of fealing, best way I can put it is that I feel blahhhhhhh most of the time. Not really "I want to die/kill myself" depressed just blahhh ,drag my ass kind of fealing.. Sex drive is off too.. I often wonder if its just the "i'm older now" than what I was, 36 now but everything you said is exactly how I feal... From time to time I can get the "oh life is great fealing" but that's not too often.
 
It absolutely affects you long term. Your Endocrine system is one of the most incredibly confusing, hard to balance, and bizarre systems in your body... the longer and more complicated the cycle(if you can handle the short term effects, aggression and pct depression) the more likely it will disturb your HPTA balance. The part that makes it worth it to me is if my thyroid needs adjusting, there's medications and herbs. If your Test production never fully recovers, there's replacement therapy which my opinion of is Win/Win! Blast and Cruise. Learning about these things from every angle is critical. These days doctors know less about HPTA than most of us who have read on here or some simple medical studies for 6+ months or more.

LOL this cracked me up. Here we can observe the mental changes (addiction) that can occur from steroidal use.

I'm not bashing you, surely you yourself would admit you are to some degree dependent. You're awesome though, that mentality was very humorous.

As for me, my sex drive went down and never came back up after doing 600mg of test then Super DMZ the last few weeks. I believe the DMZ did the damage, really. I've always had high prolactin levels (did MRI, no tumor) so I think that contributes a LOT. I am going monday to do blood work and hopefully start on Dostinex. I have every single symptom (and in some ways, always have) of high prolactin levels. Which previous blood tests have shown I have.

Good read re high prolactin in men. Apparently, it is highly unusual.

I hope this works out for you and anabolics finds a solution as well.

I'm confused why you quoted my post while talking addiction/dependence and humor.
 
To the OP, I'm just spitballing here but I know your endocrine system doesn't fully mature until your mid 20s, maybe since you jumped into AAS at such a young age you did permanently damage your underdeveloped endocrine system?

That is what Im figuring exactly. I made my best strength gains at age 25 naturally. He will probably need trt 10yrs sooner than what he would have w/o PH's at 22yrs of age. Anaboliks, find what test booster works the best for you and take it w/ DAA and ZMA. If you are in your 30's, throw in the "smallest" amount of dhea that you can get results from. Just my 2 cents worth.....
