Brief Answer:
Yohimbe and anabolic steroids
Detailed Answer:
I follow what you are saying. Anabolic steroids are deemed unsafe and illegal because they have dangerous physical, mental, and emotional side effects. These may be more dangerous in young adults because they can stop growth.
After stopping these drugs, people can feel severe depression and moodiness.
You can cause harm to your body that you cannot reverse. Instead, use healthy options such as good nutrition and exercise.
Now you can get checked for testosterone deficiency if there is a reason to suspect it. The best way to screen for this condition is to do a blood test early in the morning for Total Testosterone.
If it is low then further testing in addition to a thorough physical examination will be required. Then depending on the cause, treatment with 'male steroids' like testosterone can be considered.
Regarding yohimbe it has no connection with your decision to take anabolic steroids in future. There is no impact on yohimbe on the effect that anabolic steroids would have on your body.
