If you were so worried about your health why are you popping an addictive anti-anxiolytic as a sleep aid at a dose above the amount normally prescribed for a woman?

And no doctor would write a prescription for Xanax, to be taken to assist with falling sleep, period. They also would never write that prescription and tell you that it should be taken in combination with Lunesta.

If you got those prescriptions from a licensed physician, for your own sake, you need to find a new doctor, particularly if you've been taking that Xanax for more than a few months straight, for sleep. You've probably become habituated to it and you're going to need a tapering schedule if you ever want to sleep without a drug again.

And I'm not being nasty, I'm just telling you the truth.

Staylove, I know women who have taken serious amount of drugs. SERIOUS AMOUNTS! If you only took them for three weeks your going to be fine. If you start screwing around with drugs to go catabolic your gonna be really sorry. The rebound you endure will do serious damage to your long term health. I have a very close friend that did exactly what you are wanting and is really sorry now. After a few hospital stays she's now got a low thyroid for life and is fighting like hell to not get fat because she trashed her metabolism. If you hate what you look like stop looking in the mirror and wear bigger cloths till your system normalizes. The muscle gained from the accidental cycle you did can't stay without the drugs so you will go back to how you were.

As muscle mom explained, find a new doc. I'd also talk to someone about calming down so you don't need drugs to sleep. Seriously, just relax. Your gonna be how you were.....

I appreciate all the feedback this far..the reasons i was taking xanax was a different story! must we get into personal life?? i take 0.5 occasionally to fall asleep, but it was prescribed for anxiety..i know its not a sleep med....i am an occupational therapist and my brother is a doctor...Matter of fact, most of my family and friends are in the health field but that doesnt mean we know much about steroids.. and i know its addicting but again thats a different issue..of course my doc didnt tell me to combine it with lunesta, thats just somethinng i did on my own..and the lunesta also was not mine ....I dont need advice on how to come off the xanax but thanks anyway...I do need advice on how to return my body to how it was as soon as possible..and Nsash i am def gonna try to do it the natural way..i just really hope its possible? Is it gonna take months? years ? Tell me more about your female friends? Im assuming they were way bigger than me though..U sure you can change the structure? like go from a wide back to a more narrow one, even if i have minimal body fat? Whats your opinion on muscle relaxers and massages for now? I k now that could help loosen up the traps a bit but not decrease muscle mass. How bout musculosuction?lol

Re: please help..accidentally took my husbands WInstrol pills.. need as much advice a

LOL @ flor!

yeah id rather not start taking some type of thyroid medication ..im not big on taking shit like that for quick results..I also heard that particular med is dangerous. Is that amt that i took a lot b/c some ppl are acting like its nothing? especially that big chic on the men's forum..of course i know a guy will also tell me thats nothing..b/c they take one a day like its nothing..
I guess ill see what the blood test result yield as far as my free test..should i have requested DHT levels as well ..or can that be determined from the free and total test levels? ok so your saying that my traps are part of the androgenic features? or no? in other words , will that go down once its completely out of my system? or is that just muscle that i built? I dont really have much of any other symptoms like hair growth, enlargement down there.lol..well maybe just a bit but i could live with that..

If in another month i still see a man in the mirror, im gonna seriously consider plastic surgery to shave off this muscle..sounds crazy but its controlling my life..i wont even go to a pubilc gym anymore..ill stick to my boring treadmill in the basement for now and be mizzzzz..
Thanks again..

You loaded man-size doses for a short period of time. Androgenic sides generally aren't permanent unless you've been either abusing or using for a long time. Here's a weird thought - you may have responded really well because you have naturally low test levels. At least for you, this is how you respond to higher levels of test. Some people respond in their legs, some in their back / shoulders / whatever.

But either way - whats done is done. It will pass. But you have to let your system clean itself out on the rate that the drugs take to wear off. There's nothign you can do to speed that up because its a chemical process that is what it is. Like nsash said - if you try to do other stuff to force an opposite result, your body will be doubly fucked. YOu can't force it to do things w/o experiencing some sort of rebound.

I think its important that you just let your body handle the situation and live w/ it for the short period of time it will take. I think this is also extremely illustrative of just what goes on when you mess w/ hormones as well. Even though your experience was by accident, now you can see the power of these so incredibly fundamental components of our bodies. I'm going to go w/ musclemom in that what you see as incredibly dramatic changes maybe isn't as dramatic to other people because we tend to scrutinize ourselves so closely. So don't make it a bigger deal than it is because there just isn't much that can be done except to just let it work itself out.

If anything you should be experiencing some pretty wild recovery & sense of well-being and increased sensitivity "down there". You are also lucky in that you didnt' get sick from the winny - winny can be rough on some women in that they start to feel like they are getting a cold or flu within 1 1/2 weeks of starting a cycle.

I would throw in some acidophilus in your supplements intake just on the off chance that you have a tendency towards yeast infections - steroids of any sort can have an effect where they screw up the balance of "good" & "bad" bacteria "down there". Acidophilus (as yogurt) helps to balance that. I'd also add in some good anti-oxidants. Steroids do promote leanness and if you are dropping bodyfat, that can mobilize lots of the shit & by-products that "sit" in your bodyfat and then can float around in your body until they are worked out -- anti-ox's will help attack free radicals and such, and generally support your body while it deals w/ the stress of this foreign product in your system.

But as nsash said- it is what it is - just because 1 month from now you still "feel like a man" or whatever - you can't put a timeframe on expecting changes in your body - it can only go as fast as it can. So just relax and don't make it a bigger deal. If you don't make a big deal of it, then people around you won't and that will help you wait through it.

Generally I really hate beating the hell out of a dead horse but you have alarm bells going off in my head on so many levels it isn't even funny.

You see, you're not taking 0.5 mg of Xanax, you said in the steroid forum you're taking 1.0 mg, BIG difference, particularly since the 0.5 mg tablet is an ovoid orangish tablet and the 1.0 mg is and ovoid blue, which is why you mistakenly took the winny to begin with. If you were taking the 0.5 mg you wouldn't have taken hubby's little blue pills, pretty hard to mistake blue for orange.

And you were taking someone else's sleep prescription sleep medication, for two weeks? I really don't buy the "you know what you're doing your an OT," argument. That is a cop-out to the nth degree, and honestly, you obviously don't, because if you really DID know, you wouldn't be taking someone else's prescription medication to sleep, nor would you be relying on an addictive anti-anxiolytic to sleep. And you would realize your body composition did not change SO dramatically that your "upper body no longer matches your lower," it just can't happen, kid. A woman cannot take a steroid for two weeks, without intentionally lifting heavy weight regularly, and change her body composition dramatically. It is not physiologically possible. Besides, as an OT you should know what muscles and bones are capable of doing and the changes they can make and the amount of time it takes to make permanent changes.

Take it as you will, but I'm not being nasty and I'm not being bitchy, I'm just being honest (you really are nobody to me, okay), my instinct tells me you need to stop shitting yourself about something. Your story doesn't add up in a logical fashion on a lot of levels and why the hell you would lie to total strangers on the internet is beyond me but I know you are and I'd bet a shitload of money on it.

Muscle mom, YOU've figured me out..Im lying to myself..lol you really need to get over it ..im not lying , yeahi know what color both pills are ive taken 0.5's and 1.0's and the generic colors are different than the reg xanax..so do u evenknow what u are talking about?...YES i did bring BLUE 1.o with me to FLOrida..and i thought i was taking 1.0 at that time! geez..youre reading into everything too much.. BELIEVE what u want..if i purposely took them "lil dear" as u keep calling me..why the hell wouldnt i just say that since this forum is predominately about steroids and bodybuilding?? I cant believe im arguing with a complete stranger about what i did ..and finding the need to justify myself..Is this what you do with other people on here all day..Do u find it amusing or something?
Listen, dramatic to you may be different than dramatic to me..i said my upper body does not match my face..not my lower body..Youre right other ppl may not see it the same as me. but i do know my own body the best..and i know when my neck gets really thick and my shirts dont fit anymore..Im not talking 10 lbs of muscle here..Im talking structural changes..and veins busting all over the place..like if you just looked at my top half- youd say yeah thats a guy..thats all..i didnt say i turned into any of those guys you mentioned on the men's forum.! If your gonna keep saying that im lying please dont respond and go back to your men's forum where you belong..your just wasting my time..

Thanks Sassy!! That does make sense..and yes i did feel like i was getting sick while i was away but then again , i thought that could just be due to drinking a lot all week, partying, and not getting enough sleep . I did get a yeast infection too and ate a lot of yogurt to help. To be honest i was like almost suicidal 2 weeks ago..one day i punched a wall, next day cried all day in bed,totally not normal..Now im more emotionally stabilized..not really concerned with that part b/c i k now i could work that out..I would snap at otehrs and was so short tempered with my husband; argued with him for a while..I stilll do b/c I feel that this is all his fault, whether it was intentional or not, he did this to me..and i have to suffer the consequences for his stupid mistakes..But yeah i will try to continue on and let nature take its course i guess
