Tell your worst cycle horror story.

[Consistent_Phase6386]

September 2020, I had been off of gear for 2 years, and wanted to recomp.

Somehow I got it into my head that since I react so well to EQ, I should do 1000mg eq with 200mg test c weekly. My last cycle had been 750 of each compound after 8 years of non stop gear, so my receptors were used to them.

I turned into an anxious nutcase at week 4. Crippling anxiety. Couldn’t sleep right. Crying randomly. I didn’t gain anything because i felt too shitty to work out or be around others for the next several weeks.

What was your worst cycle? Feel free to include your best as well.

Never had a bad "cycle". I've had bad injections (Tren cough/infections that needed Abx).
Did you never think to change compounds because of your symptoms?

Last year EQ started to give anxiety I was on 600mg I can imagine 1000gr a week and dealing with it for 3-4 weeks. I'm afraid to go over 200mg a week now with such a long Ester. A few days I can say it's all in my head wile the blood levels drop. A month not so much.

Zambon's/Suspension/homemade Fina/Anavar way back in the day for summer cycles...absolutely loved how I felt/looked. I miss the Zambon amps.

2g test and 1500mg dhb - everything was ok until I got about 3 weeks of huge inflammation. Literally from each muscle in which I made the injections, I took 30-100 ml of blood for the next few days (biceps, triceps, glutes, thighs, side and rear delts) - then I used about 150 pieces of 1.2 mm thick needles to suck this blood lol

Got such bad back acne that I still have scars 20 years later. Ruined white bed sheets with blood most nights as they bled. Took 3 months to fix with accutane.

Nothing gear related but any "bulking cycle" where I thought high dosages would allow tons of clean food to turn into muscle. A little muscle and a lot of fat.

Best cycle, the ones where diet and training are on point.

 

[nothuman]

Great thread idea.

I'd say taking superdrol and getting a nose blood the only time ever in my life 2 weeks in while at work. That was bad.

Another is when I took dbol and gained so much water weight that I was too embarrassed to go out in public.

I'm sure I'll think of others.

I was taking tren, dont remember the dose and legit felt like I was going crazy. Someone left a ball cap in my car and i thought " hey that's pretty nice" and put it on my head. I had a thought that someone could have stitched a bomb into the hat to kill me. No shit. Also always felt like I was being watched and someone could potentially shoot me while my car was stopped at stop lights. Tren literally makes me lose my mind.

People joke about tren paranoia, but it can be a real thing. Supposedly that guy Zyzz(not a fan of the guy but he’s a case study) had such bad tren paranoia that he wouldn’t leave the house alone. His brother says he thought everyone was out to get him.

I have a 10ml vial of tren e in my safe that I’m dreading to use that expires in 2024. Probably going to just do 100mg per week on top of other compounds at the very ass end of 2023. I love the fullness but hate my personality on it.

In my correct state of mind, I would have, but I was so whacky I couldn’t pull it together. I’m still going to finish all the eq before it expires but not going to go over 400-500 this time.

Not anything serious off the top of my head....

Tren night sweats and insomnia sucked.

Back in the early 2000's, those 50ml jugs of QV Enanthate gave me fevers after almost every injection. I'd be sick for like a week or so, then get a few good shots in, then sick again....over and over Did I learn my lesson? Nope....did that for a while until I got fed-up with it all, then refused to use it again. I think I wasted a good year of just being sick from that crap, lol. I think that was the point I started using UG gear, but I can't remember now, lol. The other QV products I was fine with, and I also did well with Ttkkyo. It was always so much cheaper for me to use Mexican gear, through all my connections, than it was to use UG gear at the time. Fast Forward a few years, especially after Gear-Grinder, UG got much cheaper.

I had a really bad panic attack once in the middle of the night. I was completely drenched in sweat when I woke-up, and was panting and weak like I just ran a mile in 120-degree weather. lol. I had a vision in my sleep like some 'thing' was pulling me toward a huge black door with light shining around the cracks on the outside. It was so vivid. It was like it had control of my body, and I was trying to fight against it from making me get closer and open the damn thing. I was in college at the time and living with my parents. I started screaming in my sleep as I got close to the door, trying to fight it, and it was weird because at that point, I guess I was so loud that my parents ran over, and the door that was in my dream, ended up being the door to my bedroom as my parents opened it. If that made sense. I found out the next day my Ex was cheating on me too, lol....fukken all weird. <-------the point was I had a panic attack while on gear, lol, whether any of this last paragraph proceeding it had anything to do with this thread

Did you have sleep paralysis as well?

 

[MR. BMJ]

Did you have sleep paralysis as well?

There was a slight bit of paralysis upon waking. I had it in my dream, sort of like when people describe being abducted and not being able to move...or something of that nature. Like I couldn't move due to some force moving me closer to this door. I felt like I was straining myself on fighting back....but couldn't really move from what I remember. It was like a squirming-type yell I gave-out that woke everybody up. I have no idea if I was moving around on my bed. I had no insomnia, or trouble falling asleep from what I remember. I also do/did not have any kind of PTSD, narcolepsy, or sleep apnea at the time either.

Some of the paralysis upon waking could have been a combination of the dream and the room being dark and the lights suddenly turned on. I was out of breath and clothes were severely drenched in sweat though, lol.

Denkall t400....ouch

 

[rotinaj]

12 weeks of nothing happening(bunk) then the rest of my life wondering what I put into my body during that timeframe

 

[Gunsmith]

1998 , basically getting my gear for free as payment for being a remailer. Young and dumb figured you were only as big as your dose. Was making my own tren at the time
Cycle was 250mg sustanon , 100mg tren ace , 200mg EQ , 25mg Winstrol and 25mg D-bol A DAY.!!
Diet was as much as I could afford so alot of shit , decided to go to Panama City for spring break 9 weeks into that cycle and decided to "diet" which just meant eat a little less and take Clen and T3.
Started clen at 100mcg a day and T3 at 100mcg a day , about 10 days later blood pressure was 203/128 and resting heart rate was in the 90's , I felt like I had the flu bad , chief of police sent me to the ER cause he was watching my pulse in my face.dr scared the hell out of me enough to.stop everything cold right then

2001 I was recovering from a major op and had lost a lot of weight. I jumped on 150mg anadrol per day, seemed a good idea at the time! A put a load of water weight on and was strong as an ox. A few weeks in and I had blinding headaches followed by vomiting every morning. Went to the dr, don’t remember what BP was exactly but the dr nearly fell of her chair. She even called to my home for a few days after work to make sure I was ok. I stopped gear after that and it turned into 10 years off.

Stupid ideas you have in your youth

 

[qbkilla]

One batch of tren I got from cbl back in day, 20ml bottles God bless em, I think is what caused me to itch like crazy at night. No sleep was possible. I forget if I got treated or realized it was the carrier oil.

Brief period in my late 20 ran 200mg drol Ed about a gram of tren a week, felt odd. Finally took a Cialis for a wild night that put me over the top I stopped that cycle.

If 150mg anadrol put my blood pressure sky high, I imagine I would have stroked out within a few weeks on that

 

[lookslikesausage]

I decided to use DNP...this was in 2001 so no one talked about low-dosing it. Whatever the standard dosing or I should say, whatever the popular dose that respected board members preached was (not this board), I followed it. I felt so fucking awful. Somehow managed to make it to the gym and train (as best I could). It was summer no less. Needless to say, I only lasted a few days on DNP.
