Anabolic/androgenic steroids as a nootropic?

I'm considering using steroids as a nootropic. I want to recapture the drive, motivation, and vitality I had a few years ago. Body builders say they feel invincible on an AAS cycle. Youthful energy and enthusiasm is precisely what I'm lacking.
I'm going to do this carefully and responsibly. I'm having my blood tested to establish my baseline testosterone level. Then I'm going to inject a therapeutic dose of testosterone enanthate on a biweekly basis and see what happens. I'll use an aromatase inhibitor to keep estrogen under control.

My passion has been drained, and I am not quite sure what to do about it. The stress of the past year has weighed on me quite a bit.
