Thread: side effects

Water retention, increase libido(during), discreased libido(after). That's about it for me.

I get very irritable and moody, i feel run down and find it harder to get up in the mornings, i also get hungry'er and horny'er. For about a month to six weeks after a course i have a dip in sex drive but not enough to stop me from throwing the missus around the bedroom every couple of days.

Some items are liver/kidney toxic, but for the most part with proper research you can put together stacks that are relatively easy on the body, provided you follow the 'rules'. Honestly I think most of the steroid paranoia is all media BS, some of it well founded from people who ABUSE it, like other drugs.

Also, some people recommend shorter cycles which affect your natural functions less than a longer cycle would (4 week instead of 8-12).

To British Buldog, how come that you feel run down? I have alwas thought roids give you energy???

And what about a seven week cycle of methandrostenion and a nine week cycle of deca durabolinm I mean to stop met. after seven weeks and continue just with dca for acouple of weeks, that is my first cycle. Is that right?


Martin

Listing your bodyweight/height and deca dose would help, most people stack it with test in a 2:1 ratio with test being the greater of the two, or sust250 is also popular, and further some throw in some dbol, as well as having nolvadex on hand just incase, and some clomid to come off the cycle.

To Martin - i dont know the science of why roids make me feel run down, i belive it is because they weaken your immune system, also the tierdness i cant explain, but i know it is not just me who feels these adverse effects. As for roids giving you energy, that is not true, they do however give you more aggression when training and so this can be confused as energy.

What did you take that made you feel run down? I've heard of people getting sick, but thats about it.

dianabol

Oh boy, well its liver toxic so you have to take care of yourself on that stuff, or almost any oral. Liver tabs, vitamin c, no alcohol, yada yada.

What liver tabs do you know, Mudge? Im from Slovakia and we usually take essentiale forte or flavobion. Do you use the same?


Martin

Liv-52 is the 'one' everyone talks about, good for supposedly anyone with liver disfunction problems.

Thank you my friend

I should have added a friends story. I know he did the standard stuff like dbol etc, but I dont know his cycle history at all.

Guy was a powerlifter, probably has at least 10 years of steroid history in his blood. He has lived through (I forget exact numbers) 7 heart attacks, and 6 strokes, the last stroke had left his left side of the body paralized for about 7 months, which he has only partially overcome.

Like I said I dont know his history exactly, other than he probably fell into the abuser category, since he was addicted to what he did and probably wasn't carefull, plus education may have been less back in the 70s.

He has always laughed that he was invincible, but the last stroke took alot of umph out of him, as well as affected him due to not being able to walk for months, and having a slow recouperation to be mobile at all.

Just something I figured I'd share.
