I had to dig this up because i think all the teens need to know this
AS POSTED BY IRON HORSE:----------------------------------------
If you are curious as to why taking steroids or Prohormones as a teenager is more dangerous here is your answer. As a teenagers your testosterone levels are already elevated.
In addition to all this testosterone supplementation can cause “crashes” that can lead to psychological problems. As a teen most do not know who they are and are not as rational as an adult (generally). So a teen would not be able to deal with the problems as well as an adult (generally).
Testosterone is also a CNS stimulant, so can cause side effects such as anxiety. As a teen, since your body is still developing, the side effects of anxiety can be permanent. There is a moderator on anabolicreview that took steroids starting at 16 or 17. Around 23 or 24 I believe he started experiencing panic attacks. He is now on paxil (a prescription medicine used to treat anxiety disorders) for the rest of his life. The doctor said they often see cases of people coming in around mid twenties with anxiety disorders that juiced at an early age.
While the connection between early juicing and anxiety orders is not clearly documented there seems to be substantial evidence to suggest there is a connection. Will it happen to everyone? Of course not, but the risk is there.
Since your endocrine system is still developing during the teen years any AAS (steroids) or prohormones can potentially have a PERMANENT effect on your endocrine system. Some of the effects can include, lower testosterone production (for life), and impotency.
Post cycle crashes are also very common due to the fluxuations in hormone levels. This can lead to serious depression, even if you are a happy go lucky kind of guy. Everyone reacts differently, hence why it is a good idea to start off on a very mild cycle (no more than 350mg/test per week, and if you are a teen I would say no more than 200mg/test per week). Of course for a teen it would be best to take something like primo or anavar as these are the safest; however if you choose to add test make sure the doses are kept low.
Anymore questions let feel free to ask. Hope this answered your questions.
(As a side note PH’s are **** . Stay away from them. They are side effects in a bottle. Their aromatization to estrogen is often much higher than actuall steroids and the PH’s won’t even yield good results. Basically PH’s are a waste of time and money and could possibly be riskier than taking a mild steroid).
Sure some side effects arn’t to harmful, but what about not growing? and maybe not having kids because your endocrine system got messed up before it was done developing…
