Mesterolone as an anti-depressant and pep pill
The German hormone manufacturer Schering did tests in the seventies on an injectable analogue of the anabolic steroid mesterolone, the active substance in Proviron. We, the industrious compilers of this free webzine, discovered this friday afternoon when we were browsing through patents. Researchers at Schering gave mesterolone cypionate and classic mesterolone to men suffering from depression – and the results were promising.
Mesterolone
Most handbooks say that mesterolone is too mild for male steroids users. In the past steroids users have taken mesterolone as an anti-oestrogen but without much success, and to restart the body's own testosterone production after a course of steroids - with even less success.
Mesterolone as an anti-depressant
In another study the researchers compared mesterolone with the anti-depressant amitriptyline. [J Clin Psychiatry. 1985 Jan;46(1):6-8.] According to the researchers both substances were equally effective, but mesterolone had fewer side effects.
Mesterolone cypionate
According to the patent, mesterolone cypionate is particularly suitable for oral use, but can be injected too.
The patent also happens to cover the use of nearly all possible analogues of mesterolone as anti-depressants. The figure below gives an idea of the dosages that the researchers used.
Mesterolone as a stimulant
"It has now been found that mesterolone and its esters exhibit a psychostimulating effect at lower doses", the researchers wrote. "The desired psychotropic and CNS-stimulating effects of mesterolone occur within 2-3 hours after administration."
