hey guys i just wanted to get things off my chest and also wanted to hear your opinions about this... please take some time to read though this and comment. id appreciate it a lot. i stared bodybuilding about 3 years ago when i was 15 and i did a few cycles during these 3 years. first i tried dbols. did like 100 tabs 3 tabs a day. then a year later tried fina gold. 30 mls in 8 weeks. the following winter i tried eq 20 mls for 6 weeks. i basically wanted to see how my body would respond to each before id start any serious saucing. i was motivated as hell with bodybuilding and wanted to compete and all but was lacking knowledge and never got really far. just this year i competed for the first and 3 months later for the 2nd time in junior category. i weighed at around 150 at both shows. anyway so after these shows i decided to get serious with my training and eating...and juicing... i decided to do a cycle of test enth stacked with dbol. i wanted to gain some poundages. i pyramided the test starting with 250 mg a week and peaking at 750 a week for 3 weeks and finished it off again with 250... somewhere in the middle i threw in the dbols. just 100 tabs. my weight jumped from 150 to 185 lbs which i think wasnt too bad. by the way i never had any problems with my previous cycles but with this one some strange things started happening. after the 5th week since i started my cycle i started to feel very tired. fatigued. was dizzy all the time, and started to get weaker and my vision was blurry. i went to the hospital and they did whole bunch of blood tests and stuff and all the values were off. i just battled through this and continued training feeling completely like shit physically and mentally every day. couldnt even think clear. by the time i finished the cycle i wasnt able to train. was almost passing out when i tried to lift some weights. i had to skip my upcoming competition... so i discontinued training and supplemented with some tribulus (as an excuse for a proper pct) after a couple of weeks i started to feel better and eventually normal. my blood work was good again as well. just as i got back to training ( this is like a month and a half after i finished my cycle) another problem started out. there was something wrong with my breathing. after a set of of whatever i was breathing really hard and got weak very fast. i continued training for few more days . then my breathing became really bad that i had to stop training again. i went to a clinic and went thorugh whole bunch of tests like a chest xray and electrocardiogram and mroe blood work and whole bunch of other stuff. the doctors couldnt find whats wrong with me. now they sent me to a hospital and this week im going there to find out how the eco cardiogram went. this breathing thing already lasted for about a month and a half. just a couple of days ago i decided to do some squats at home without any weight or anything because i got so frustrated and depressed that i cant train and all, and besides that i already dropped 20 pounds in these 2 months or whatever without training. so as i said i tried to do some squating for 100 reps non stop and see how my body would respond. i managed to go through those 100 reps but after my breathing was really bad i almost suffocated and had these blackouts for about 30 minutes, after which i felt dizzy and wanted to throw up a bit. and for the next 2 hours or so i was very sleepy. i guess that all happened because of lack of oxygen in my body. anyway now i just have to go through more tests at the hospital i guess and wait. in the meantime i just wanted to hear few peoples' opinions about this. if anyone has a clue of what might had caused this all to me. im 18 years old and i never had any serious health problems in my life. oh and sorry i forgot to mention this: when i was on my cycle i went to a couple of parties and took some ecstasy pills and just before the breathing problem started i tried ketamine once. yeah i realize now im a friggin idiot doing all this crazy shit to my body. i guess i took the worng path on which i learn from my own mistakes. i am definitely going to stay away from recreational drugs now. but speaking of steroids i dont know if i hopefully get well ill be more careful next time and listen to my body better. im one of those who dreams about stepping on the olympia stage one day. heh your probably think im crazy and maybe i am but i cant help it. i love bodybuilding A LOT and im really frustrated and depressed right now that this is happening to me. i feel completely down already not training for this while, and as i said i just wanted to get things off my chest and see what people would say about this if anyone would read this, i appreciate it. i apologize for grammar and all my english is still developing, plus its almost 4 oclock in the mourning and my head is not so clear. anyways if you read to this part thank you and feel free to comment guys.

i really don't know what to say.... i think u know that what u did was REALLY dumb, but do the research man. first i wouldn't care about bodybuilding if i was gonna die from it, life is way more important. steroids are horrible for young guys, and i really don't know why you would ever try it. i loved bodybuilding when i was a kid too but everyone knows the dangers man. i say get the fuck healthy first and once u are 100% again, then u can lift again.

[canablistic_Turnip]

It's hard to tell. Personally I wouldn't be screwing around with any drugs at the moment. Although you have given quite alot of information. Intrested what did the doctor say? Did you tell him/her what you are taking? Because if you don't they can't help you! Serriously it's your health man!

Apart from the obvious answer.....SEEK URGENT MEDICAL ATTENTION and follow there instructions to a emph degree.

One way to do this "IF" you are dead serious about getting up on stage, is this.

You need to believe your body has suffered an injury (I prey to god, not permanant). Just like every bodybuilding injury, you need time to heal. You are only young especially when you compare your age to say Ronnie Coleman, so with time up your sleeve you need to take at least two (2) years off drugs, you need to cleans your system and let your body heal.

You only go on gear when your progress is exuasted naturally. You need to get advice on your cycles, from what I read they have been "all over the place like a mad womans piss" and that just kills people dude.

In a nut shell, Bodybuilding is a long term sport, so get use to being in it for a long time, not a good time. Rome was not built in a day, and neither is a championship physique. Slow down and enjoy the trip, speed kills.

GOOD LUCK!!!!

dude, GO SEE A DOCTOR. No bullshit, go to him, be honest, and tell him about all the mistakes you have made, be honest, exact. You need medical help bud.

[Nothin' but a peanut!!]

agree with these guys, stay healthy and make a full recovery first

I think you've done everything the wrong way round. It seems your impatience has gotten over your better judgement and you've done too much too soon.
At your age, the last thing you wanna be doing is juicing. If I were you, I'd do as Pumba says and train your balls off till you've gotten as far as you can get naturally before trying anything. Remember, at your age you've got a lot of natural growing still to do.
I hope you get sorted out both mentally and pysically!
Keep us posted man.

Get healthy, educate yourself on how the bodyworks, and do things the right way natural before u juice. at your young age u dont need any drugs bc your hormones are already crazy through th roof man. Stop taking the drug at least wait until your 20, or when ever you can grow a full beard.

I hope things trun out for the better for u bc steroids are serious drugs, and very powerful ones at that.

Good luck and Godbless

thanks guys, this is what i also decided to do . i am definitely going to stay off drugs for quiet a while and away from training at least till my body fully recovers. speaking of doctors i have told them the whole story, pretty much like i posted here; about what drugs ive taken and so on. they dont have any idea yet of whats going on so its just a matter of time untill they do enough tests on me to tell...

[alex24]

you have to love your self for your self
love and live your life
dont expect drugs to do that for you
take care mate
