Thread: roid rage..fact or fiction?

Depends on what your getting pissed about ?

Lol some things make me pissed no matter what.....but maybe someone who runs cycles more can shed some light on if they get more aggressive or pissed off over things that normally don't bother them

my 2 cents worth is its fiction,ive never toughed gear but atleast 10 of my close mates that i spend alot of time with regualary cycle gear and its only the ones who are normaly A-holes that seem to suffer from "roid rage",adding to this it seems the worst guys for it are the ones who do the dbol or oxy only cycles with no liver protection or pct (i think they seem to think the fact there on gear is an excuse to act like a moron.
im very chilled out and wouldnt hurt a fly so i doubt very much gear would change this.

Complete bull shit. It only happens to ppl who are uneducated about the sauce that tend to flip out. I know some idiot that went nuts on winny LOL. Breaking shit talking shit, so stupid. If ur gunna use anabolics as an excuse to act like a dick than atleast please take it far enough as to do something really crazy so ull get locked up so society(mainly us) dnt gotta deal with ur garbage. Smoke one ull feel better.

Your asking about Roid Rage and taking tren ?

Personally I don't believe in it. If you know how to control your emotions you'll act normal whether you're on tren, test or whatever. For example look how many people out there go mental while driving. They're not using anything. They just have issues.

Well if you notice alot of people are talking about controlling their emotions. I think that yes you do get agitated easier and possibly more mad then you normally would. But I think it's just an excuse for some people.

I think you get pissed easier but just because of that doesn't mean you have to act out on it.

Deca kind of turns my emotions on.
I do think that gear like alcohol does tend to make what you are feeling a bit more.
Its not a myth, some of my family members notice a behavior change that I didnt notice.
Of course I was defensive when they brought it up.

im probally gonna get alot of critism bout dis , but i do have a short fuse anyway . i find that things piss me off easily .but i tried tribulus once for the supposed libido effect and after the third week had three fights in one week . thats totally unheard of for me . also started treating my girlfriend badly , basically taking her for granted . i found that the same things pissed me off as before ( basically numties) but i found it really hard to control the emotion . perhaps it brought out a underlying problem ...who knows . but i can imagine if trib had dat effect i will never try aas . but i have a mate who is always on sumtin steriodal and hes a very amicable fella . i tink its abit like supps , what works for one person might not work for de other . perhaps its the same with reactions .

Roid rage is a term given to people who act in very aggressive or hostile manner after taking large doses, usually on a regular basis, of anabolic steroids, sometimes nicknamed as roids. Some people may be so vulnerable that behavior changes occur rapidly, causing the person to behave in a manner illegal or so disruptive that it can quickly ruin a life.
An Example of what some may consider roid rage (or a drunken idiot):


There have been only a few studies done on steroids and testing aggression. Some of the studies are:

Horm Behav. 2001 Nov;40(3):409-18
Ann N Y Acad Sci. 2004 Dec;1036:399-415
J Clin Endocrinol Metab. 1996 Oct;81(10):3754-8.

All three studies concluded that high doses of steroids (testosterone in these studies) showed an increased aggression, but not an unprovoked or irrational psychotic “roid rage”, as displayed by the media. It seems that people who are most likely to experience it are also most likely, prior to steroid use, to be extremely angry, hostile or violent. This suggests that roid rage may most occur in those who are already at risk for violent behavior

So what this means is that steroids are not really a cause of “Roid Rage”. It is people with a bad temper who are looking for an excuse to lose control and do something stupid. If anything, Alcohol is much more of a cause of rage phenomenon, considering it makes you lose your total sense of judgement. Does this mean steroids are totally innocent? No, but it’s effect on the personality is greatly overblown.

"Roid rage" is an exaggeration. Steroids may make you a bit more sensitive to emotional mood swings, but it is a huge leap from that to "rage". Plus, if you are a grown adult you should be able to deal with a slight increase in sensitivity.

What??? I'm perfectly f**king calm you a**hole!!!

...No, I don't believe in it at all. Why do you ask?

I've come to believe that roid rage could be something as simple as unbalanced hormonal levels. Hormones effect emotins in strange ways .Balance levels help to avoid those type swings. Example women and PMS .

Peace and Love

don't think that guy is on gear, he is plain fat and weak. If anything he might be on birth control(Or at least he should) lol.

I read about a study where they used 100 subjects, give half steroids and the other half a placebo. They did the study double-blind. That means that neither the subjects or the administrators knew who was getting steroids and who was getting the placebo.

50% of the actual steroid users experienced 'roid rage. Not to be outdone, 50% of the placebo users experienced 'roid rage as well.

Take it for what you will.

I wish I could rep you again. The commentary on the study is priceless

I have a friend who claims he gets roid rage off of Anavar alone. I did Test, Tren and Var and actually felt happier than I ever felt. My temper was not an issue for me, and yes it was legit Tren. It's all in the head of the user.

I know. I think he is actually drunk. But it was the closest example i could find to what people would consider roid rage on a short notice

if you've ever had outbursts while natty, then steroids will more than likely increase the likelihood of flare-ups. high doses of androgens will alter your mood. it just seems to exaggerate your elation and anger. They absolutely do increase aggressive behavior. (particular steroids like fluoxy, Mast, tren, etc) Just bring it to the gym and take advantage of that extra push.

Can somebody explain how roid rage can be fiction while nobody will say that PMS is fiction ?

Fiction . My rages before i ever touched AAS were more intense and violent than any meathead running tren.

Roid rage is real we just say it isn't because there are enough black clouds following the drugs we love as it is. Its real and I get it. Easy fix smoke weed

Fact!

Just can't seem to figure out how Tren doesn't give me roid rage. I ran it for 8 weeks with ZERO anger issues.

Androgens can and do lead to increased aggression, oily skin and other secondary male characteristics so roid rage is not complete fiction but it's usually most evident in users who lack the maturity to be using aas in the first place. I wasn't an asshole/immature prior to aas but I have the self-awareness to know if and when I'm feeling disproportionately wound up about something, especially something trivial.

To say Androgens do not and will not cause increased aggression is foolish. They can and do. That's part of what they do. It's how you handle the effects of androgens. That's what it's all about. For ther most part, gear simply makes you more of what you already are.

Testosterone is what make us males and 'Men', it's what inables us to have our killer instinct and if need be the ability to protect our loved ones no matter the circumstances.
Raise the test, raise the aggression. Id say it doesn't take a scientist to see that, but it is a science.

And if your an asshole, your an asshole regardless haha

I read about a horse steroid (forgot the name I think boldanon) cuz I want some...anyway..they say when they put their horses on it they get aggressive...so yah its not a myth

done i fair amount of reading on this topic lately.personal experience with people who have used aas: it effects different people in different ways. i have seen with my own damn eyes a man who had years and years of building and aas use under his belt behave 'normally' when off, act 'pleasant' when on test and deca, and act completely nuts when he added simple methandrostenolone.which made very little sense to me but was a very real change, it was so bad that he discontinued just the dbol and his behavior went back to his normal 'pleasant' on behavior
