Dbol - bloats me up a lot, causes hair to thin while taking it.

This idea that androgens give people anxiety is an absolute farce. Its quite the opposite androgens DECREASE anxiety.
What I have experienced:
Dianabol - headache, bloat, stomach ache when not taken with food, lethargy
Testosterone  - lots of body hair growth, acne on back, red face, more aggressive thoughts than usual, a little growth and swelling in my existing gynecomastia, testicular atrophy, water retention
Clomid - blurred vision at times

Overall, I have found the side effects to be very manageable.

You can claim that it is a "farce", however it was definitely the case with me.  I did not have anxiety problems before I took testosterone.  Then when I went on it, I had extreme anxiety.  When I came off, it went away.  Everyone responds to drugs differently.  These hormones can impact your mood, some people get depressed, others get aggressive, some feel really happy, I got very anxious.  To deny that steroids have a psychological impact is just silly.  They clearly do.

One of the most common misconceptions regarding the side effects of anabolic steroids is known as ‘roid rage’. There seems to be little or no evidence such a condition actually exists. Most studies done on "angry behavior" and anabolic steroid use show no psychological effect, implying that either "roid rage" doesn't exist or that anabolic steroids' effects on aggression are too small to be measured. Many scientists and medical professionals conclude anabolic steroids have no real effect on increased aggressive behavior

I wonder if it's the prolactin. Mine goes sky high even on test alone. My libido dropped slightly near the end of my first cycle but I had HCG and got back into the game pretty quickly. At the beginning of the cycle though, I had almost made the decision to stop completely. My erections were so hard I almost thought my dick was going to snap off. There were a few times where I got so hard I was actually very scared.

There are women for that kind of problem, bro.   ;D

Bro, I don't want to get into a big argument over it, we obviously will just disagree.  But there is no way you can increase the amount of a hormone like testosterone in your body by ten times or twenty times its natural amount and not have some psychological impact. 

I have many friends who have juiced, and the ones who went the heaviest and did it the longest most definitely had more aggressive personalities.  Long term use can lead to some paranoia.  Not everyone turns into an asshole, and I have no problem with my temper when I take gear, but I am pretty mild mannered.  But there just aren't that many studies that have been done to prove it one way or the other.

State your opinion all you want...even if we disagree I am someone who rarely gets his panties in a wad.

Anyway, there are actually tons and tons of studies on this very thing. One of the biggest lies we here concerning AAS is that there haven't been any conclusive reputable studies. The New England Journal of Medicine alone has study after study regarding AAS use, not just HRT dose big boy dose too. And the NEJM is probably one of the most respected medical journals in the U.S. if not the most respected. If you go to their website you can find a few things but to get the good stuff you have to register and pay for it.

Im no expert but I kind of agree that changing ones hormone level well beyond the natural range must have some impact, but that doesnt mean it leads to rage. Hormones do effect our mood, our sex drive, and whole slew of other things. Now whether or not that will lead to psychological issues I have no clue. There was a Yale study, though, that said too much Test can kill brain cells but who knows what levels they demeed as destructive. I wonder where it was published, I'd like to read it. No this doesnt make me against AAS, Im just curious  ;)

lol funny that you mention it... my gf is such a nympho that it's unreal. Even on test, proviron, tren and playing around with Viagra or Cialis from time to time (friend gave me a couple dozen of each, figured why not?) she's still wanting more lol... when I'm sleeping she'll reach down my pant and play with my dank. I'm far from a minute man and she's very appreciative, but she ALWAYS wants it.

It all happened when she went on birth control. She's been off for a month and I thought her sex drive would die down but it hasn't... I'm getting a little scared. My man muscles can hardly take anymore sex. I never thought I'd be the one to tell the girl that I'm too tired or that I have a headache lmao (I always man up and put out though - tee hee) ;D

If she always wants sex, perhaps you'd better diversify and try anal sex and/or deepthroat techniques.

I guarantee, you give her some long endurance sessions of anal sex and she'll think twice before she tries to initiate sex.   ;)

In the same vein, most women can only deepthroat for about fifteen to thirty minutes before they're ready to move on to something else.

Give her a nice pounding in the right place and she'll calm down......   ;D

Yea, about the only permanent side I've had - excess body hair.

On another note never-ever let your wife wax your back.  :-\
