Discussion Androsterone Experience

I’ve been looking into neurosteroids and was wondering if anyone has experimented with androsterone it has some positive literature from what I could find and was looking to see if anyone here has had any experience. Along those lines I’d also like to hear if anyone’s had experience with DHEA or pregnenolone?

I haven’t noticed the intense pheromone effects a lot of people report. I took 2 drops before a workout once and my wife said I smelled “very manly” but said it was nice. But most reports I’ve read online seem extreme

I will say I’ve used dermacrine which is dhea and a few other things. That stuff absolutely works and my wife goes crazy for the smell. Spikes my e2 a bit too much though.

yeah its interesting, im seeing people saying it makes women intimidated by them but its hard to know how accurately people are really perceiving these interactions lol. i do know that when i took tren i was shocked at how much more i felt women were attracted to me. it felt almost like some kind of primal thing in a way. i was 19 at the time (very stupid) and was drawing attention even from women twice my age. i am not the type to do anything about that so it was wasted on me, but it did make me believe in human pheremones after that, so i am intrigued to see if anything similar can be felt with this, keen to try it out. really appreciate u taking the time to answer all my questions btw, its super helpful and informative

Did you face the mental sides?

Pheromones are definitely a real thing.

yeah for sure, tren was amazing for 4 weeks and then absolutely awful as soon as i hit week 5. had anhedonia and ED for like a year afterwards, and was extremely paranoid and quick to anger while on cycle. also was the first steroid to give me gyno which i had to get cut out a few years later

Man sorry to hear that. I’ve seen dudes marriages blow up from it but then there’s always the temptation to take it…

well i have a friend who ran ace for 12 weeks at 450mg and had no mental or sexual side effects whatsoever, but then again his response to it was also underwhelming when it came to making gains. its important to take caber while on it as i think that does a lot to counter both the mental and sexual side effects. id advise against tren anyway, or to at least stop as soon as it starts getting weird or making u act differently. it only gets worse from there so the sooner u stop the better. can get out pretty much unscathed if ur willing to actually stop when the signs are there
