It doesn't always get a ton of notice when addiction is brought up but addiction to anabolics is an interesting phenomena in itself.
I started using anabolics years ago and slowly added more compounds over time. It eventually got to the point where I started to experience increasingly negative sides that I had trouble managing so would add further pharmaceuticals to the stack to mitigate the side effects of the anabolics.
What is interesting about anabolic use is that if abused for long enough or heavily enough (blast and cruise) going back to a state of non anabolics is actually difficult and can come with months/years of hormone / neurosteroid deficiency as you attempt to restart your HPTA. This is why most people are on replacement doses of testosterone for life after dabbling in this area which is interesting in terms of your typical reformed addict = quitting sense.
- shard 5y agoTo save someone else a search, HPTA is, according to Wikipedia: The hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal axis (HPG axis) refers to the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, and gonadal glands as if these individual endocrine glands were a single entity. Because these glands often act in concert, physiologists and endocrinologists find it convenient and descriptive to speak of them as a single system.
