For me, steroids mostly make the physical side of anxiety worse. I get higher heart rate, I feel my heartbeat more, sweating, physical tension, shakiness and a general fight or flight feeling. Mentally I usually know that the situation is not really dangerous, but when these physical symptoms start, they make the anxiety much worse.

That’s why I’m more interested in propranolol than sedatives or benzos. I don’t want to feel numb or impaired, I just want to lower the physical adrenaline response when needed.

I actually went through all of this myself back in 2013–2015. Have you ever tried nebivolol or bisoprolol? They worked really well for me in reducing those physical anxiety symptoms. I took bisoprolol daily for about a year and a half.

That said, my advice in the long run would be to learn how to overcome the problem without relying on medication. Over the years I've gained a lot of experience with this, and I'd be happy to share what helped me if you're interested.

Personally, I suspect it's not just the steroids. It's more about the way your mind responds and your underlying beliefs or thought patterns. The physical symptoms are the end result. Medication mainly treats the symptoms rather than the root cause, and in many cases the root cause is psychological.

Of course, steroids can contribute to it to some extent, but in my opinion things like lack of recovery, overtraining, stress at work or at home, personal worries, and even not doing enough cardio tend to have a much bigger impact.

If you ever want an outside perspective from someone who has spent years learning about this and has been through it himself, feel free to message me. I'll do my best to help.

And if your goal is simply to control the physical symptoms, beta-blockers were by far the most effective solution for me. They target the adrenaline response quite selectively, which I think is a more reasonable approach than taking medications that affect many different systems throughout the body.

Hello again, any chance that Proviron might make it's comeback, say, this week? It's the only item missing for me to jump on the levocarnitine product of the week bandwagon!

The company told me it should be back in stock very soon, but I don't want to make any guarantees.
