Roid rage is a myth. What some roids can do is enhance behavior. If you are an aggressive angry person, then taking some might increase this behavior. You could easily say roids are the mellow happy drugs. If someone is happy and mellow, that will enhance this behavior as well.
This idea that you take roids and you'll be going bananas on everyone is pure fiction.
That applies to some of your physical traits too, if you are prone to acne, you will probably develop some. If you are balding, this could very well accelerate the process.
Many of the side effects are also reversible.
The problems that come from the common person using roids is it's likely of very poor quality and complete lack of knowledge on how/what to use.
Precisely why I say they should legalize and control it. The masses would be way more informed and could then have access to quality drugs.
Roid rage isn't a myth, your personality is definitely affected by hormones, certainly the ones that cross the blood-brain behaviour. We know this, for example, from transsexuals who report personality changes after their sex change operations. It's widely reported that the hair loss drug propecia can induce significant personality changes, since it lowers androgens in the brain. The prolactin-inhibitor cabergoline (popular among steroid users) is associated with an increased risk of gambling addiction. A friend of mine went on a modest dose of supplementary testosterone, he was getting into more fights and was having more sex.
When you say that it "might" increase aggressive behavior, sure. Results will vary based on the individual, the dose, and the other hormones.
Separately, you wrote:
complete lack of knowledge on how/what to use.
With respect, nobody has any knowledge of how to use the poorly researched experimental drugs. Testosterone itself is reasonably well researched, but if you're taking Ostarine then you're in no man's land.
That's true, it can be two meals. Some Muslims get up early and have a meal at 5:00am.You don't have to do it in a meal. Ramadan is essentially IF.
