First time steroid user.... Been thinking and researching this for a couple years now and finally took the plunge. I need CANDID answers about side-effects... I am planning on an 8 wk cycle of Durateston I am worried about PERMANENT hair loss, testicular shrinkage, and liver damage. I am currently a VERY healthy guy. For career reasons, I can't get huge. I am already "big" (6'4" 215# 45"c/32"w). I just want to get a little thicker. I don't plan on more than one or two cycles a year (early fall/mid-winter). I just completed my first week. Please be honest with me. Thanks- RoidNewbie IP: Logged |

if u want to minimize side effects why didn't u use something like deca. It's hard to say how your body will react to those drugs..i feel that start low and increasing slowly has been the way over cycles to determine how much i can handle. Anyways, 6'4 215 is pretty good size...don't u think? I would just try to stay cut up or get that way, that makes the biggest difference in what i think your career may be IP: Logged |

I don't have any first hand experience... but from reading on this board, Nizoral shampoo will block the androgen receptors in your scalp and help prevent hair loss due to steroid use. Liver toxicity is maybe a problem with the dbol but not if you don't go too high dosage. Testicle shrinkage -- take clomid throughout the cycle. IP: Logged |

Bro, Different people react different ways - some people are more prone to sides than others. Generally, regarding hair loss, if there is "male pattern baldness" in the family - if you are probably going to be bald in older age, steroids will accelerate that. That's an androgenic property. Nizoral is good prevention...your doses aren't super high but, different people react different ways. Liver toxicity...again - different people different ways - but definitely stay off the alcohol during your cycle. As far as testicular shrinkage - clomid throughout the cycle or at least near the end would help there. Keep nolvadex on hand - and use it at the first sign of gyno. Gyno also depends onhow prone you are. Good luck - keep us informed. Matt IP: Logged |
