Thread: Steroids Impact on the Thyroid?

What is the collective consensus on the effect steroids have on the thyroid? After adding in a modest amount of Equipoise
to my Test E, I have been feeling very sluggish and tired all week even with good sleep. Maybe just how I respond to EQ?
I know blood work might give some insight but I wanted to ask others. I started to research articles about a possible
connection and came across a few studies showing that large doses of various steroids do indeed cause a reduction in T4 and T3.
This would surprise me since I believed most steroids would support or increase thyroid output. Is this why many labs
often have T4 or T3 for sale on their list because this connection is already known?

They have t3 and t4 cuz people use it to cut. Gear can effect thyroid either way. Ive had bloods indicate that mine has been hyper instead of hypo at times.

Tren definitely does!

Test E and EQ for me also at the moment
i run 1200 eq a week and don't feel sluggish but, get tired much earlier than I normally do

t3 and t4 help increae output of the hormones from thyroid, but I am unsure if that leads to drowsiness (less t3/t4 created from EQ )

I have used t3/t4 to cut in the past but never because of lack of energy from higher doses of gear

interesting points--

Right o tha line!!

This is exactly what I was going to suggest.
Everytime I start feeling like that you can bet my RBC and hematocrit are pushing the limit. I delayed my last donation so I could get bloodwork done before. I was just below the cut-off for donating. Felt immediately better like a weight had been lifted off me.
