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. The risk seems minimal and the benefits could be enormous.
For instance, /u/validstatement said:
> In my experience, testosterone's presence in the body is one of the most potent nootropic forces I have ever discovered. Period. It has been totally safe for me to take, and has had very strong cognitive benefits. While it doesn't seem to increase memory, it can significantly improve motivation, anxiety, energy, and reaction time. Sex drive also goes through the roof.

Hey MisterYouAreSoDumb,
Just a fewthoughts/words regarding your above post. The work that you are doing is changing peoples lives for the better, regardless of whether or not they are enlightened with respect to nootropics or whether they are looking for a quick fix. When I first started out a couple of years back, I was one of those looking for a quick fix for a whole shhhit ton of neurotic tendancies. I was a psychiatrist's wet dream!!! I bought from a number of sites thousands of dollars worth of stuff that I really had no clue about. However, my point is that the more I interacted with this subreddit, following some of the mkore credible people such as you(MisterYouAreSoDumb etal), I began doing more and more research and I am now becoming passionate about the whole balanced approach to well being, which includes creating a strong mind through a combination of intellectual stimulation, excersize and nootropics/nutrition.
I am resigned to the fact that I am no genius and unless I get hit in the head and start cacluating prime numbers over tenthousand with my eyes closed, I am not likely to ever find a one time pad for the key to genius..., but the hope remains with the sweet compounds that Cereitropic has and will put out in the future (been waiting for p21 for ever)...Your integrity has given me a forum and platform to work from because I know that even if an indivi…

Thanks for the kind words! I know there are many people out there that are using nootropics for the right reasons, and trying to expand their understanding of human cognition. It's really what it is all about. As things grow, there are always growing pains. It happens everywhere. We just need to consciously try to help steer the direction of the community in the appropriate direction, and help foster interest in the real idea of nootropics.
