Oxandrin Abuse and Addiction: Treatment Options that Can Help
Oxandrin is a prescription medication that’s often given to patients who need help to gain weight.
In most cases, it’s been prescribed for people who have a chronic illness, or for cancer patients. It’s also been given to people who have recently had surgery. Oxandrin is very useful for those who need to build muscle, and that’s one reason why it’s often abused by athletes and bodybuilders.
Oxandrin is a member of the class of anabolic steroids, but it’s actually one of the more mild options. Because it is a prescription medication, it’s negative effects are often overlooked or minimized because of what it can do to your body, physically. It mimics testosterone and works to stimulate muscle growth.
If you’re addicted to Oxandrin, please understand that this is a very dangerous addiction. Oxandrin addiction treatment is necessary in order for you to stop safely and minimize any withdrawal symptoms that can occur as a result.
Oxandrin Abuse: The Effects on the Body
Oxandrin is one of the more mild anabolic steroids, but its effects on the body are still quite dangerous. The addiction is more of a psychological one that transforms into striving for reaching an unattainable body image. When this anabolic steroid is used for this purpose, it is Oxandrin abuse, and it only gets worse as time goes on. The body quickly builds up a tolerance for it, and when you no longer experience results, you begin to use more and more.
It’s important to note that most of the time, when someone uses Oxandrin, or any other kind of anabolic steroids, the underlying cause is usually some other type of mental disorder. These disorders are connected with body image and self-esteem.

Some of the most common Oxandrin addiction symptoms are:
- Various heart complications

Oxandrin Addiction Behaviors: Help for Families
For families who have loved ones who are abusing Oxandrin, they often have a difficult time understanding whether or not their use of this anabolic steroid has moved past abuse and into addiction. If that’s where you’re struggling, you may be relieved to know that there are certain Oxandrin addiction behaviors you can look for. These may include purchasing the drug illegally, going “doctor shopping” as a way to gain more prescriptions, or taking the drug in ways other than it was intended.
The Dangers of Oxandrin Withdrawal and Oxandrin Addiction Treatment Centers
In order to properly treat an Oxandrin addiction, it’s most likely going to be necessary to taper down the dosage of the drug. Otherwise, stopping it abruptly can lead to some serious Oxandrin withdrawal symptoms. There aren’t really any physical withdrawal symptoms to be concerned with from a medical standpoint. However, the psychological symptoms are often severe enough that they cause people to go back to using again. These can include:
- Sudden onset of anxiety
- Frequent panic attacks
- Insomnia or other sleep disturbances
- Irritability or rage
- Severe symptoms of depression
One of the best Oxandrin rehab centers can help you come off Oxandrin safely, and even offer you a period of drug detox to assist with withdrawal. At Northpoint Recovery, we’ve worked with many patients who were addicted Oxandrin. We can help you too. Please contact us.
