PA,
I was the other "bullshitter" that you referred to in your reply to this post. Let me just say this, I'm still on the 1-ad (starting week 2 of my first cycle, 100 mg per day still), and havne't experienced the same problems with urination that I did in day 2. You'll notice that I haven't been on the board bitching about sides since then. The only sides I've experienced since day two are increased acne, and a sore throat/chest congestion condition. Now, I'm smart enough to know that either of those could be completely unrelated to the 1-ad supplmentation, so you haven't seen me on her bitching about how 1-ad is fucking my shit up royally. Hell, I can't even be sure that the urination problem I experienced in day 2 was due to the 1-ad, but it does seem a little odd that I had that problem (something I've never experienced before) 2 days after I starting introducing a new substance into my body. So yeah, I chalked that one up to 1-ad, but either my body has learned to deal with it, I got a bad pill that day, or something about my diet has compensated for the problem. Whatever the case, I haven't experienced any of that problem since then. At the same time, I haven't experienced any of the phenomenal growth that some of the other users on this site have reported. In fact, my weight and BF have pretty much stayed the same since I started. Granted, I'm just now into week 2, so I'm not worrying about it too much....this week in the gym will be interesting, as most people report that they started realizing their gains in the 2nd and 3rd weeks of their cycle. We'll see how it goes.
Just wanted to let you know that I'm not a bullshitter, or hater of Ergopharm, or employee of another supp. company. I'm just a newcomer to the iron game, in my early 30's trying to get an edge, who has read rave reviews about your supp. and is giving it a shot. And since their is so much hype and interest about this product, I'm damn sure gonna share my experiences with it with my bros on the board, just as I'm glad they are doing the same with me. As you said, there has been no empirical research on this product, so folks like us that are trying it or thinking about trying it, have to rely on the anecdotal evidence of other users to decide whether or not we are going to lay down our hard earned dinero for it.
Hey, I more than anybody else on this board, want this shit to work for me....and I'm going to give it the full 6 weeks to see how it goes. If I grow, and get stronger with minimal sides, I'll keep buying. If not, I won't. That simple.
