Sounds like you are having a tough time of it at presant, and I agree with your premise it could be the steroid you are taking making you feel worse, have you tried to go the Natural Way with researching Remedies that dont include these Drugs, I am battling Hives brought on since Dental Treatment, trust me they are no Picnic I have been the "MedicalRoute' of steroids and antihistimines and Doctors who absolutly dont have a Clue at least round where I live,unless you want Botox! I am trying  to eat better as I feel now what we put into our mouths needs some adjustment and struggling to lead a more stress "Free' lifestyle that ia my biggest Battle.The fact you feel not as joyful definatly sounds like a chemical is affecting you ie the steroid.

Hello, all information is given is coming from my mastery knowledge of AAS. What you did in the beginning of your cycle by injecting the drugs, was shutting down your NATURAL testosterone.It wasnt noticeable at first, but your testicles were not on their normal axis and cortisol levels can be going up and down(which can cause anxiety in some). When you suddenly stopped the steroids, it took your body quite sometime to figure out that you have done that, your body needs your testicles in working order to function properly. You should have consulted a doctor or researched before ever starting a cycle...ALL USERS should use SERM's when coming off any cycle of steroids...Medications taken together are nolvadex and clomid... both act in restoring your natural production of testosterone, keeping estrogen levels down from being saturated in cells. All in all, just getting your back to your normal state.Since you did not do the appropriate steps in completing, or coming off a cycle; your body was just completely out of balance. Everyone is different in when feeling the effects of the chemical imbalance.. Some like you, Some have panic attacks, some have severe anxiety, some can develop thyroid issues ...and the list continues.

Also, when playing with the chemical process involving your natural state of testosterone production and hormones, you take a chance that not everything will go back to normal when discontinued. When men your age are feeling tired/useless, depressed, you need to possibly check into hormone replacement therapy. Also, steroids can initiate and magnify and mental illness that will be present in your life time. Basically if you are prone to anxiety/depression. Steroids can speed the process up , by making them come to surface much sooner and amplified. Your going to have to find a doctor that specializes in TRT.HRT.
