    Default Post-cycle Sides -- getting things back to normal

    Just as there are hormone changes as you begin a cycle, there are hormone changes as you come off and the compound clears your system. What are some things you've heard of or experienced, and related to what type of cycle?

    The first AAS I ever used was one of those designer steroids. I underestimated the strength of it because 1)it was legal and 2) it was a transdermal product. It as marketed as 1T Tren and it turned out to be quite strong. I suffered through some serious temper issues for the first 3 weeks or so of using it and hot flashes starting about a week after my last application that plagued me intermittently for about 2-3 weeks. Completely skipped three entire menstrual cycles. A lot of water retention and deep acne on the upper back and shoulders that took months to clear.

    Oxandrolone was so mild even at higher dosages, I can't complain about any post cycle symptoms. Only the usual stuff we all foresee and accept. Cycle recovered pretty quickly. Post cycle water retention was really minimal.

    The Boldenone I am currently coming off has been pretty smooth. I think it's been 3 weeks now since my last shot. I'm experiencing more of a drop in stamina than anything else. Some mood changes I'd describe as melancholy (just feeling very blah all the time) and avolition. The backne did rear it's ugly head again about 8 weeks in, but I foresaw that and was prepared with a topical antibiotic. Getting more hair on this one and more enlargement.

    One thing about the OTC products is that they often couple the "recipe" w/ an aromatase inhibitor which would be great assuming the product is used by a guy (i.e. help control gyno & other estrogen-related sides) but in aggressively shutting down estrogen conversion, it would conceivably have the aggressive effect of near-menopause type sides for women while your natural estrogen / menstrual function gets re-established.
