Thread: Cruise on 200mg ... sides questions

So I finished blasting for 15 wks and now am cruising on 250mg/wk. I have noticed that while on 250mg (been on it now for 6 wks) my acne has increased on shoulders and back a little more. Anyone else have more acne when on a low dose? I will say that I do enjoy just 250mg a wk. My strength is still up and feel great.

Also, I've seen some people say when they cruse they add 100mg of Masteron a week.Anyone ever do this here and if so what sides are there and benefits to doing this @ 100mg/wk ?

masteron at 100mg week? benefits? little to none. Some believe, that masteron act as estro control and increased libido, I cant say whether or not this is true (someone else have experience with this). The acne is getting worse because of the hormone rollercoaster....you just had levels up really high (during blast) and now all the sudden they are leveling down, lower, this is usually the cause of acne when going into pct.

As the other two knowledgeable brothers already pointed out - Your hormonal imbalance is causing the increased acne. I also agree there are much better ways to control estrogen than with Masteron. I have complelely changed my views on using nova/clomid for estrogen control and agree that aromasin is the better choice. It is very effective peripherally, highly suppressing what is generally E2 conversion.

But can I ask you a question - are you going to keep going at the low dose test for a while? What is your long-term game plan? Come off completely? bridge? Just curious as to what others are doing.

In the past - I was always so concerned with bringing my natural test and everything else back to normal - that I would never think of tapering down - I always planned it so my last injection would be 2.5-3 weeks prior to my last day of orals - and then I would get ready for my PCT. In other words - I would literally peak and then prepare for PCT.
I did extend a planned cycle once, just because it was going so well and I had some extras and I had a very similar problem to the bro above with the acne - I couldn't believe I was in the best shape of my life and unable to take my shirt off because of the acne - I went to a Dr who was reluctant to put me on accutane (and he was probably right) but then I found a dr. who did and it helped. That cycle wound up lasting an extra 4 months or so because I was scared to have another hormonal change. In any event, tapering down is interesting but with regards to your bodies natural levels - there would be no benefit. If your natural test is shut down - then lowering your cycle doses is not gonna help bring them back. A more interesting idea I have been researching as of late is taking HCg throughout your cycle. 2 days prior and the day before you inject. The theory is that you don't suppress your levels too much to begin with - so getting them back to normal is relatively easy.

Heres a little tip: If you break out on PCT (or anytimereally). Vitamin b5 (Pantothenic Acid). Anywhere from 7-10 GRAMS per day (yes those dosages are correct) will usually clear up cystic ance. After a week or two at a high dose you can go down to 5 grams a day. There are many success stories from chronic ance suffers using Pantothenic acid (I use it now).


Also you can combine either tetracycline or doxycycline with the b5. The antibiotic will take some time to become effective (up to a couple months) but it works also.

Use a benzyl Perox scrub in the shower (Panoxyl seems to be the best). And oxypads (salicylic acid wipes) a couple times during day will help. Topicals are useful but the initial attack on the ance must be from internal.

IF B5 and/or anitbiotic doesnt work....you only have one other option...accutane. I prefer to use this as a last resort. I have a friend who is a doctor that used to hook me up with doxycycline for my breakouts, he refused to give me accutane, for good reason.

Remember the goal of your PCT should be to get back in normal production as quickly as possible...the acne will then slowly cease.

google: "Pantothenic Acid to treat ance" or "B5 for ance"

(the highest milligram pills I found are 1000mg, I recommend these instead of the 500's...It sucks swollowing 18-20 pills)
