Title: Depression while off the juice?
Post by: Magnus on March 30, 2009, 09:58:35 AM
I have a good friend of mine, naturally big and strong (not a pu**y like me  :-[).

He was always the alpha male, lots of girls, always happy...you get the picture.

Started training seriously and gained lots of mass while using the juice, and he was really incredible.

He had to quit for health problems and since then fell into deep depression, already tryed two times suicide.

Now in treatement by a specialist doctor.

Is it a common situation to feel down if not on the juice?

Not to be a dick, but he sounds weak minded.  Prolly had low self esteem prior to juice.  While cycling it made him feel adequate, then off juice he reverted to a confidence level prior to where he began. 

That's why it's good to have hobbies and other things you're good at outside of weightlifting.

Yeah but some people get butthurt when you give an assessment about their friends.  Seriously being good at other things keeps you going.  Take pride in what you do.  A lot of people fall into the trap of dedicating 100% of themselves to lifting and pay the price when it doesn't pan out the way they thought it would.

It's not being "off the juice" that is causing your friend's depression, but rather the low testosterone levels that he is now suffering from since stopping. Exogenous testosterone will shut off your body's natural production. Once you stop receiving the outside source, your levels plummet and your body's own production has not kicked back in. He needs either an experienced physician in restoring natural testosterone levels, an appropriate HRT dosage, or the ability to wait it out and hope that his levels return to pre-usage (or at least normal) levels on their own. I would recommend option one.

yep... i had zero issue quiting it, make sure your pct is correct and long enough and monitored with blood work. Find something else to do with your life,  fishing, racing cars, playing with my kids,  i actually found out what life was when i stopped kidding myself about pro bb'ing.

Yeah, I was gonna say more or less the same... it's true going on and off cycle does fuck with your head and can lead to some mild depression, but nothing that would lead the guy to suicide...

was he the alpha male cause he wanted to be.. was he compensating???

I had a good friend of mine... he was prom king, dated the hotest girls in high school and college, D1 baseball player, class president, top 10 graduating high school, he wanted to be a doctor and had the brains to do so.. anyways he was a closet homosexual.. he dad disowned him and he committed suicide... :-[

You tell you're buddy to go to a dr and get a bottle of testoserone, but only due what is perscribed, which is about 200mg
a week.  Juicing all those years shut his system down, and it might not come back, and if it does, may not be for a while.
It had helped me tremendously.

I found it hard the first year clean, a bit all over the shop but never ever would i try and commit suicide, i would say he needs more in his life than just juicing and bodybuilding.

It can be.  If your whole identity is defined by something that gets taken away, you're bound to have negative repercussions.  Guys whose entire life is built on the attention they get from being "huge" are in for a serious let down once it al goes away...and it will go away. 

For me, when I was the most juiced and in my best shape, I remember thinking how it was all temporary.  I knew that sooner or later I would be off the sauce and back to being "normal".  Once it happened, I had already prepared mentally.

It's getting socked in the stomach.  If you get caught of guard, you get the wind knocked out of you and you go down.  If you see it coming and braise yourself and take it.

No, don't think so, but the stress that made your adrenals shut down may have had a wide range of hormonal effects that lower your test level (high cortisol over a long time etc.).

tobegin with ,,your friend is not naturally anything,,thiose fellas are the worst abusers of hormones,,their muscles are not developed enough because they count only on hormones to do the work and dont train  seroiusly like you say ,,those fellas ar all the same they do it for girls and only for girls and then get sick and either die from abuse of other drugs and alohol or just quit into the nothingness they were supposed to be and back into reality,,if your friend was naturally big he would not be depressed because his minimums would be there to begin with ,,

I wasn't putting you down. Seriously. The thing is that depression and being suicidal is a complex issue. We don't know the background of the guy mentioned in the original post. I doubt he tried to kill himself just because of low testosterone. Did he have psychological issues before starting steroids, did a relationship fall apart at the time he was extra vulnerable, did he have money problems and etc.

I'm sure many here would have called you a pussy for trying to kill yourself over a chick (that might be how they viewed your situation).

At least we know what experience finally made you quit. :)

psychologically addictive, not physically addictive.

Psyche = part of the physical  ;) :D

Is there a mind apart from the body?  :D

It all depends on the definition of addictive. Steroids can be mildly physically addictive. For example sleep may be affected when coming off.

If steroids affect neurotransmitters, which they do, then they affect the mind and brain in a physical sense.

Of course addictive substances usually refer to things that can kill you upon cessation or at least cause severe physical withdrawal symptoms.

Wannabe gettin' those nuts off your forehead. :)

Last week I was talking to someone about reading Dr Seuss to children. Of course I ended up joking about your classic thread and looking like a complete idiot, LOL!

It's sad how people can't man up and do it on their own.  I saw 3 fools tonight at the gym who obviously were on, now off...looking like mere shadows of their former, also shitty, selves.
Reality is a bitch sometimes..hahah
Just weak minded individuals.  I know, everyone is going for an Olympia titles or "going pro", or a "future NFL star"....wise up punks. ;)

Being off feels as bad as it feels good to be on. :'(

Continue the adex for several weeks after (depending on the ester and hcg use imo), titrating down.

I have a good friend of mine, naturally big and strong (not a pu**y like me  :-[).

He was always the alpha male, lots of girls, always happy...you get the picture.

Started training seriously and gained lots of mass while using the juice, and he was really incredible.

He had to quit for health problems and since then fell into deep depression, already tryed two times suicide.

Now in treatement by a specialist doctor.

Is it a common situation to feel down if not on the juice?

What was he thinking? Stay on forever? If you never get on, you don't ruin your natural levels to begin with.

I wasn't putting you down. Seriously. The thing is that depression and being suicidal is a complex issue. We don't know the background of the guy mentioned in the original post. I doubt he tried to kill himself just because of low testosterone. Did he have psychological issues before starting steroids, did a relationship fall apart at the time he was extra vulnerable, did he have money problems and etc.

I'm sure many here would have called you a pussy for trying to kill yourself over a chick (that might be how they viewed your situation).
As you say, I hope there was another back ground beside. :-\
