roid rage..fact or fiction?

[stronger4ever]

Just don't piss me off and everything is going to be ok.

 

[keith1569]

I definitely feel more on edge when on. Have to watch my mood a bit more and make sure I don't get more snappy. But it's just something to deal woth and can be controlled. If you can't control yourself off gear. U shouldn't be on IMO

 

[Imosted]

Roid rage as media makes out is fiction but i agree on being on the edge.

 

[tigershark1]

I haven't run a lot of these compounds the other guys have, but as far as straight test or dbol goes, I feel exactly the same on or off. Never "raged" so, for me it's a complete fiction.

 

[heckler7]

i had rage on sus250, never got it from any other compound. I wasn't out on the street tripping balls. The day after pinning I would be real frustrated at work, had no patience for anything. Normally I'm really mellow.

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.

hahaha thats why you dont fuck with an MMA fighter. Especially when your a fat fuck. Also to answer your questions I have a few friends who juice regularly and they get pissed a little quicker than usual but nothing extreme.

Example women and PMS .

Peace and Love

Roid Rage/PMS isn't the only kind of femininity that juiceheads share with women.

Human behavior is far to complicated to define in terms of cause. Everyone has different body chemistry and are effected differently by drugs. That is why at the end of every pharmaceutical drug commercial we have a 20 second disclaimer about how a small percentage of users in test groups experienced negitive effects.

Everyone has different degrees of patients. If you are a very self controlled person with a lot of patients, you might take extremely high doses of steroids and never exhibit a negitive change in behavior. You might be a douchebag who takes a small dose, and then beats up your girlfriend. You might be such a douchebag, that you are given placebo, and you punch a hole in the wall, because a sugar pill gave you roid rage.

Double blind studies have shown that some people actually exhibit a better attitude, and are more willing to cooperate with others when given testosterone. I read the study in Scientific American, but I don't have a link for that one cause it was DLC, so you will have to hunt it down if you are intrested.


The simple fact is, that the question is too flawed for any sensible discussion to take place. Everyone saying that it does and everyone saying that it doesn't hasn't really thought about the question long enough. The question must be rephrased.

I know most people say its a myth. Some say unless your already an asshole you wont get it. Well I really don't think I'm an asshole but around week 6 on tren cycles I get shitty. My fuse is so short I feel like punching a hole through someones head. After I'm off the tren I go back to normal.

lol its all in your head bro, your thinking 'maybe I do have roid rage', it increases aggression a bit, but what you make of it is completely in your head. It just gives you more of an excuse to go off and reason it to yourself as okay b/c its just 'roid rage'. Thats all bullshit, it does increase aggression, but its up to YOU to decide where to channel it.

 

[heckler7]

It's real, some people expirience it some don't, some people get gyno, some don't. I never beat my wife and kids on cycle, but my wife will tell you I get very irritable on cycle. primo, sd epi, I haven't had any problems. sus250, I wanted rip the skin off my boby.

 

[yerg]

When using tren at 400mg or mor a week i tend to be very irritable... Rage no... irritated easily yes..

 

[mazdarx7]

ill tell ya what i dont believe roid rage is real in the 10 or 12 years ive been in the game...but i do believe in road rage wife rage ect ect...and the fact is everytime im on and i get pissed my wife blames it on the juice ....fml

 

[Little Wing]

the first rule of roid rage is we don't talk about roid rage.

LOL, yeah my wife does the same thing, and when I try to get the hibbity dibbity on shes says "aren't you shut down? whats wrong with you". tren is the only thing that shuts me down, oddly enough no anger on tren.

good way to put it..I at times am definitely more irritable

 

[Dolfan84]

I am in a way better all around mood when on. Now when I am in the gym I do get quite aggressive with the weights. The one thing I have noticed is that really girly acting guys get on my nerves more when the test is flowing.

 

[Vick]

Well when I was 19 on my first cycle of Test cyp and Enanthate with Deca and Halotestin, I remember my girlfriend locked me out because I was yelling at her so I proceeded to twist the door knob out of the door and let myself in. We were both so shocked we werent mad anymore. I think Cheque drops might have helped Mike Tyson bite ears too, when he was losing lol

 

[Pulsated Pec]

ok roid rage work like this ........... if you are immature and cant control yourself you will express the rage you get from the roids........you will normally get agitated about things that wouldnt regularly phase you but if you choose to make a big deal about it your immature and shouldnt be using aas

 

[Thresh]

Roid rage is a myth.

If A 150lbs skinny dude throws a fit and gets post off, you laugh at him or ignore him.

240lbs ripped beast gets pist off about something, it's roid rage.

 

[BillHicksFan]

A few weeks ago I came close to crushing a cops head into the tarmac for lying to me and hitting me with a hefty fine just to make his quota. The only thing that stopped me was the fact that there was another cop nearby and that it would have fucked up my cycle if I was thrown in the clink.

500mg of tren + a liar cop + $500 fine = PURE FUCKING HATE

Usually I'm pretty laid back but I nearly snapped and became famous. Not blaming the tren but it nearly tipped the scales.

You probably could have knocked them both out, crushed the radios,and torn up the ticket, not that that's something I'm premeditating or anything.

lol the old prick handed me the ticket without even making eye contact. He started reading the fucking ticket to me and and telling me all the tedious details. *Put my foot behind his, grab him by the neck and pulverize his head onto the road. Simple.... orr then get shot by the other cop who doesn't know what the fuck just happened.

You don't need to be Chuck Norris to snap.

They can't shoot an unarmed man, a quick thumb to the eye and punch to the throat will give you plenty of time to put a foot in the solar plexus of the other one. Then cuff'em and stuff'em in their own car.

Well when I was 19 on my first cycle of Test cyp and Enanthate with Deca and Halotestin.

^^^That right there speaks volumes about you Vick, and helps me to understand some of your idiotic posts...

^^^That right there speaks volumes about you Vick, and helps me to understand some of your idiotic posts...

WHOAAAAAaaaaaaa!!! Lol.
Not for nothin GMO but I cycled before I was proper age too, junior year of college 20 yrs old to be exact. I was also quite volatile when under the influence of aas but it was my own damn fault for being irresponsible to begin with.

 

[Bigb21084]

^^^me and you both. Age I thinks is key to controlling yourself on aas. Then I was a reck, now is different story.

 

[smithf3]

anything tren tends to make me really agitated. test and dbols give me an overall good feeling... it'd be great if statements about steroids came out that say "Some steroids can cause roid rage... while others make u feel just fantastic!" there's a good headline for the news

I say fact. Mostly, it depends what your taking and how much, but keep in mind, heightened aggression is supposed to be one of the benefits of AAS for lifting purposes.

I definitely become more aggressive. For me, it does present itself in the form of a "short-fuse" or being easily irritated. I snapped at my boss for the first time in 6 years a few months ago and then got aggressive with a tech in our office as well. I had to smooth things over and keep myself in check. Honestly, once I started my HCG during cycle, the short fuse and irritability went away, but I still felt aggressive when I would start to lift.

That's just my experience and belief.
