When you use steroids for muscle growth to get real results you need to pump your levels of hormones up by 10 or even 50 times the norm.
Really? Care to source that one?
When you stop, then your hormone levels plummet down to nothing, which is as bad or worse than the hormonal overload.
The answer is to be like Louie Simmons and just don't stop. Or, don't be a moron and have a decent PCT protocol to maintain semi-proper hormonal ratios.
Roid rage is not a joke, but the norm. So is anxiety, depression, and all kinds of other mental problems. Which of course leads to using a plethora of other drugs, and due to being unbalanced that drug use is hardly going to be simply therapeutic for most of them.
I hear it gives you the reefer madness.
1. I'm not sure if saying google.com or simply the word science would be more pithy so take your pick. There's a huge spike in hormone levels from shooting that dwarfs your day to day levels, but that should be sort of obvious, and I don't know how to make the obvious more obvious. Different drugs work differently, but I think it's safe to say all of them have massive effects on your system.
2. This goes along with 1. You can't just 'not stop'. You have to go in cycles to get fast results without getting horrific side effects. If you don't know this I don't see how you can be a steroids user, and if you're not I don't see why you are so illogically defending it. I suppose you could take small doses to slightly raise your levels, but this is the realm of antiaging not of bodybuilding steroids use. It would also probably have more side effects than it was worth, though, regardless. Ive yet to see anyone even get HGH treatment who was ultimately happy with it (though I am sure they exist).
3. You also can't 'maintain semi-proper hormone ratios'. I guess that depends what definition you use, but with any reasonable definition no you can't do that from home. You can't even really supplement hormones with a doctor's help without excessive testing to keep things balanced, let alone on your own. The people doing this crap are mostly high school football retards, not scientists.

Deny it all you want, but it's more ridiculous than arguing that chronic potheads have great memories and clear thinking. Anyone is placid when they have ludes or xanax whenever they're on a cycle and everyone responds differently (and stacks vary wildly) but if you're trying to deny that roids often cause emotional/mental issues anyone who's dealt with these guys knows better. There seem to be fewer of these clowns these days but in the 80s/early 90s it was a fucking epidemic.
Blaming someone's death on an SSRI is an even bigger joke. That only happens in very narrow circumstances right when SSRIs are started, not after they've been in use, and usually not for outpatients but for semicatatonic patients who get a sudden burst of energy to do themselves in. On the other hand, spiking up your hormone levels to the moon on a daily basis for a month then having them shoot down to nothing in response is obviously completely healthy and couldn't possibly cause emotional problems.
