Depressed as fuck on blast. Could this be deca?

So, I’ve been pinning just deca and test. Doses are 600 test 400 deca. About a couple weeks in (frontloaded the deca) I started feeling massively depressed. I’m getting worried because it’s pretty severe, to be honest. I have 0 desire to get up or do anything lol.

I did read somewhere about decas potential to cause depression and anxiety in some users possibly due to progestenic activity, it’s effect on the brain, or it’s conversion to DHN blocking DHTs ability to bind the the AR receptors. I’m not going to sit and autistically guess what it could be, but has anyone gotten depressed on deca?

I personally have not, HOWEVER my best friend came off of his last blast running the exact same dosages of test and deca as you and complained of severe depression and shit. Couldn’t wait to drop the deca. He was fine after his blast, but he says he will probably never run it again.

Dang. This actually isn’t my first time running deca either, but maybe uncoincidentally I notice mood issues every run I’ve had with it. Maybe I’ll just swap it out for something else like dhb.

Why not run EQ? I know it doesn’t put on mass as fast as Deca does, but the gains are nice and lean and it makes me hungry as a motherfucker. Anxiety can be an issue though.

I’m only assuming you were bulking, running Test and Deca.

Well, whatever you decide brother don’t let that depression get to you. If it’s that bad, I’d drop it right now all together because its gonna take some time to get out of you instead of trying to ride it out.

Depression and shit ain’t something to play around with.

Old dude I beat up for drug money said 10mg dianobol in the morning will help that mood. Then you’ll die from gyno but you’ll be in a good mood. Same for 2.5mg anavar. Mood lifter. If your a sensitive flower. And makes you gay. Bonus.

If you weren’t depressed before Deca then dump it.

I’ve never used Deca, but reading through my Anabolics 11th edition I wouldn’t touch that stuff because of the DHN conversion like you mentioned.

DHT is a must for proper mental health. That’s why I rail against anything that interferes with it. Of course I take 100mg of Masteron/week, blended with my T to get me at a point I feel good.

Depression is nothing to mess with, people seem to be taking their lives at ever increasing rates because of anxiety which leads to depression.

Honestly yeah now that I think about it the DHN/DHT thing makes sense. DHT is essential for male mental health and libido. Deca makes some people depressed and kills libido. Lol

I have recent experience on this topic. I was on 500 test 500 deca, 500 mast and after I dropped deca&mast I got depressed, no libido, and lethargy. I kept prolactin and e2 in check all blast with proper blood work. How I fixed this was switching to 400 mast, 200 test, 200 tren A. Got my libido back within days and feel great.

Decas long half life fucked me over thus converting to dhn while mast was out of me fast.

Deca is the only thing that’s ever done this to me too. Same dose, 400 a week and my prolactin was fucked and same depression side effects. Weird, cause I can run tren like crazy with no prolactin issues at all. Caber got me sorted out in a couple months

Did you get poofy nips? My nips feel normal but can prolactin be elevated with normal feeling nipples?

My nips didnt get poofy, but I did get a little bit of lactation when I squeezed them. And I got bloods done, my prolactin was through the roof. It’s the only time I’ve ever gone to such a dark place since ove started blasting and cruising. My anxiety was also really bad during this time as well.

Just a little input from your neighborhood long term gear freak;

Deca is actually used, or was by us pre Reddit blowup users, to counteract the depression/anxiety-esque
Issues brought on by compounds like Tren. But your deca dose is umm, well abysmal to be quite frank. 800/week has been the standard for a long time, and while I did drop out of the discussions about two years ago so I don’t know what the new funny trends are I can assure you that a lot of us are confused by the fact that you’re doing half of the optimal dose.

I have never heard of anyone having depression nor anxiety from any form of nandrolone. Nor have I heard of anyone using less than 600/week, and even that’s the bare minimum.

The sides you’re describing are actually attributed to EQ, a compound that is renown for its ability to take a very mentally stable man with no history of mental issues and turn him into an anxious mess. I would contact your supplier or other users who get their supply from him.

sounds like a textbook case of dht being displaced by dhn. Cold dropping the deca wouldny help half as much as adding a short ester dht asap and im not a believer in quick pick up or drop of anything hormonal in the body in general, shit can get ugly but no matter what you at least wamt to start to taper the deca. Get yourself some mast prop and mast e. Kick start with the prop and run the e at what you want to keep it at. Even just 250 to 300 will do alot of good for the emotional issues but the first week id pin almost 100 mg a day or so just to offset the dhn receptor saturation. I bet youll feel alot better real fuvkin quick.

Thats whats shitty about super long esters… Anything goes wrong your kinda hit unless you got ready access to the right shit to counter the sides effectively

How u holding up though?? You still feeling like shit?
