Acne - never except with Clomid
Hair-Loss - hair thinned out a little, DHT steroids seemed to be the worst
Cholesterol - Never any high LDL levels, but low HDL levels, easily fixed with diet
High Blood Pressure - Never, with one exception...if my Nandrolone dose got too high this seemed to cause a problem...nothing else caused this
Liver Enzyme Values - always increased with oral steroid use, but never anything alarming. However, pro-hormones sent my liver enzyme values into the high 80's...not steroid use ever broke past the mid-20's.
Gyno - slight flair ups a few times, easily combated with Letrozole
Water Retention - sure, all the time, but controllable with diet...took years to learn this, but when you're young you're dumb...at least I was.
Prostate Enlargement - none
Heart Conditions - none
Kidney Issues - none
Anxiety - none
Insomnia - only with human grade Anadrol
Rapid Heart Rate - None
Night Sweats - sometimes with high doses of Tren but not always
Depression - none
Testosterone Issues - yes, I'll require TRT for the rest of my life....I guess you could call this a big one and the most serious one
Rage or Anger - never....the same on as off...no difference regardless of the compounds
Infections - one bad one due to an allergic reaction...I'm allergic to grape seed oil....a few small sterile abscesses due to more than likely contaminated gear...painful but not a big deal in the end.
Total years of gear usage - 10+
Most gear ever used - around 3g-4g/wk
Longest period "On" - 3+ years (some of that was just low to moderate test)
Longest period on full blown - 9 months
Biggest Cycles:
Example 1:
Testosterone-Enanthate - 250mg/ed
Testosterone-Propionate - 100mg/eod
Trenbolone-Acetate - 100mg/ed
Dianabol - 100mg/ed
Nandrolone - 200mg/wk
Example 2:
Testosterone-Enanthate - 250mg/eod
Testosterone-Propionate - 200mg/eod
Equipoise - 300mg/eod
Trenbolone-Acetate - 100mg/eod to ED
Winstrol - 50 to 100mg/ed
Masteron (sometimes) 300 to 500mg/wk
Example 3:
Sustanon - 1,000mg/wk
Deca-Durabolin - 600mg/wk
Dianabol - 100mg/ed
Equipoise - 900mg/wk
Not all cycles were like this, but these are a few that come to mind. While I used 100mg of Dbol per day, I have to say the difference in 100mg and 50mg never appeared to be that much different. Sure, 100mg provided more, but it wasn't a huge difference over 50mg. Nandrolone, anything over 500mg/wk always gave me problems. EQ, decent steroid, but never as impressive or as efficient as many others IMO. Testosterone....doses over 1,000mg made me feel a little weird sometimes....I can't really explain it. Other steroids used not in the above three examples....pretty much everything you can think of with the exception of things like Laurabolin, Android, or Omnadren. Also, never used Masteron-Enanthate (only Propionate). I'm sure there's others I'm forgetting.
Non-steroidal items used:
HGH
HCG - with strong regret
Clomid & Nolvadex
Arimidex & Letrozole
IGF-1
Clenbuterol
Cytomel
Favorite Steroids:
Testoviron Depot - hands down the best testosterone on the planet IMO
Trenbolone-Acetate - no need for any other Tren IMO
Dianabol - BD is tough to beat
Rec Drugs - never once during all my years of cycling...nothing. Smoked pot twice in my life and that was around 18yrs old....wasn't for me. Never touched anything else, I won't even touch pain meds if they're prescribed to me...I've had two surgeries, ankle and knee, took pain meds once after one of the surgeries and hated the way they made me feel. Slight torn pec once, took nothing. Twisted vertabra, no pain med, took extra Nandrolone and HGH and it healed 6months ahead of schedule.
Currently - no cycling, will never cycle again unless it magically becomes legal or I move to a country where it already is. TRT therapy, that's it, and maybe a more in-depth HRT plan in the future....time will tell. Health is good, a few aches and pains here and there. In decent shape, still fairly strong but a far cry from the old days in both regards. Happy and content.
Obviously this is more than you asked for and more than most will read, but it's late and I'm bored and unable to sleep at the moment...so there you go.
