So far I have found this a great resource and have read some great stories so I thouht I would share mine.
I am a 39 year old male. I am 5 10' and go between 175 and 185. I first came upon steroid use through a long bout with depression. I suffered from the most severest of depression. I was in mental wards, suicidal, diagnosed with everything under the sun - Bi-polar, general anxiety, general depression...etc...But non of the medications worked. I decided it was going to be up to me to find out what was REALLY wrong and in 2010 I started doing research. I came across a disorder called Hypogonadism (The word is so knew it comes up as not spelled correctly). Well what most of the public knows this as is Low-T. Why over a 3 year period no doctor told me to get my testosterone checked I have no idea. Well I got it check at it was at 96, Which is about was a 100 year old man has. It runs in families, and it runs it mine. I guess the doctors thought I was to young to have Low-T, which is a total myth. It can start as early as mid twenties. I was placed on 400 mg of Test Cyp for 12 weeks. Well within 10 days, my depression, anxiety, pain, everything was gone. To good to be true. NOPE. That was the culprit.
So for you out there suffering and wondering why none of your depression meds work, get checked. Its a long process and not one test. I was 34, weighed 198, and had a 38 inch waist and could not do a push up. After the cycle I was 175 and had a 32 inch waist and benched around 200. I have decided to do another cycle because I got the ok from my doctor. This time I am using non standard Low-T steroids. Most Low-T steroids are just long acting testosterone. So far I have used Fuerza's NPP and Prop. The feeling and results are amazing. I am up to 187. BTW, my standard maintenance level for my low t is 50 mg of test cyp every 4 days. Some use the cream which I found not nearly as useful. I like to share my story not because of the gains in muscle, but because of how I went from a suicidal maniac with a million diagnosis and 5 psych meds, to no psych meds, back working, and just using plan old test cyp. P.S. The picture was actually when I was in top form. At the moment I have already put on more muscle, but not as cut yet.
