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:

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.

I don't know what changes they've made, but I can tell you they aren't working. I purchased a website not long ago where the previous owner was big into paid Amazon reviews.

What they seem to be doing is offering either a coupon code that makes the product cost around $0.01, or they make it a few dollars and then send you money via PayPal after the review is completed.

Well "officially" Amazon banned the paid review thing. It might take a bit for it to really manifest, or they may just be blowing smoke. Who knows. The sketchy ones that Paypal you after the fact are always going to be there. Kind of easy to game the system that way. Just look at how many reviews there are on places like Bulk Supplements.... It's asinine how much money they have spent on paid reviews. Now nobody can touch them on Amazon, because they are the top of everything. It's exactly against what Amazon was started as. It's a big shame.
