My Clenbuterol Experience and Advice.

**EastCoaster** · 12-02-2004, 08:25 PM

I've started Clen 2 times before without finishing because of the side effects, but recently I just got off my first full cycle of Clen... It def. works but I feel its highly overated! I feel that a strict Diet and ECA stack is far more worth your time, plus its minus all the side effects. I have a history of heart problems in my family, and while I was on clen my uncle actually died of a massive heart attack... the Clen effects on the heart really scare me. I feel that it causes too much unwarrented stress upon the heart.

During my cycle with clen, I didnt take any tylenol or asprin to relieve the side effects. My reason behind that is this.... The reason you get a headache from Clen is because of the body temperature rise - just like how you'd get a head ace if you had a regular fever. The body temperature rise is the sole reason for taking clen because you increase the rate which your body process and uses calories... thus you burn energy and fat... Thats also why you're always tired on Clen, because you're constantly burning energy. Now, a lot of people take tylenol and/or asprin to decrease the side effects, but in all actuality, you're decreasing the effects of clen. Tylenol is a fever reducer, thats why it makes your headache go away - without the fever or increased body temperature, clen is worthless. I'm not a Clen specialist, but a logical thinker.

Just my 2 cents from my experiences.

Well put and here is the back up info.

GENERIC NAME: acetaminophen
BRAND NAME: Tylenol and many other
DRUG CLASS AND MECHANISM: Acetaminophen belongs to a class of drugs called analgesics (pain relievers) and antipyretics (fever reducers). The exact mechanism of action of acetaminophen is not known. Acetaminophen relieves pain by elevating the pain threshold, that is, by requiring a greater amount of pain to develop before it is felt by a person. It reduces fever through its action on the heat-regulating center of the brain. Specifically, it tells the center to lower the body's temperature when the temperature is elevated. Acetaminophen was approved by the FDA in 1951.

I tend to run pretty low doses of clen and i havent really experienced headaches just muscle cramps

**dive_kid** · 12-03-2004, 12:08 AM

i have run huge amounts of clen with almost 0 sides. i thought it was bunk bot other people have said it was wicked. maby i just have a high tolerance....
lol is 300 mcg/day a lot.... lol

**bignatt** · 12-03-2004, 12:15 AM

well see heres the thing i took one batch and it made me go crazy and the other batch i had didnt affect me much so the quality is of the essence

**EastCoaster** · 12-03-2004, 12:44 AM

300mcg a day? It had to be fake. You'd def. experience a headache.. when you use clen , your body temperature rises... thus giving you a head ach. Your stuff was bunk bro.

**dive_kid** · 12-03-2004, 12:50 AM

all I got was the odd cramp. 2 a week maby
like I said, me my girl and a friend all shared a few bottles.
i was the only one with no sides.

**Jeff01** · 12-03-2004, 12:52 AM

300 mcgs would put me down for good if I took that much novegam clen at 20 mcgs each

**Ridla** · 12-03-2004, 01:35 AM

man i ran clen clen at fairly low doses and I had major nerve irritation. its like when my body starts to heat up even slightly... just got horrible pinching sensations all over my body until I went in a cold place or took a cold shower. I leterally felt like i was getting poked by needles in forty different places in my body. I have not cried in a looooong time but when this occured like 5-7 times a day i would almost cry from the pain..
ANY1 EXPERIENCE THIS?????
IF SO HOW DID u CURE IT.

**EastCoaster** · 12-03-2004, 01:46 AM

I didnt have that problem thank god. Sorry to hear that bro.

I just had massive headaches and the shakes. I could hardly write or type.

**bignatt** · 12-03-2004, 07:18 AM

I havent heard of that

**BigSexy50** · 12-03-2004, 08:29 AM

Headaches are caused by dehydration of the brain. Make sure your daily water intake is 1 gallon or more, that you are taking a good multi-vitamin, and are getting close to 5 grams of taurine a day to help with cramping.

**dropteeth** · 12-03-2004, 09:33 AM

Clen sides..suck.. IMO causes to much stress on the heart. I will never use clen again.

**EastCoaster** · 12-03-2004, 12:28 PM

I'll second that

**bmwrob** · 12-03-2004, 12:41 PM

Well, I have experienced the ocasional headache/ letharagy/shakes, but never any cramping. I usually get close to 3 gallons of water a day, though. I don't go much above 80mcg any more cause I don't need it. Just because you don't get sides doesn't mean that it is not working. At that low of a dose I don't even get an elevated BP. I prefer it way much more than ECA because I don't feel like sh*t afterwards. Just my .02

**dieseL atC** · 12-03-2004, 01:56 PM

I've said it once, I'll say it again.. I think Clen is over rated due to the sides you have to put up with to lose a few lbs.. I'll take a good ECA anyday. JMO

glad to find this thread. bros, i just took my first dose of clen ever yesterday morning - 40 mcg. it set in on me like crazy - i was shaky, occasionally felt twitchy. which surprised me, because i usually have an extremely high tolerance to most substances. This ripping headache set in, and I've had it for about 26 hours. it feels like that headache where you overstrain doing squats and it feels like you blew a gasket in your head. hurts to move the head quickly and stuff.

i did shake the bottle before I dosed and i have discontinued use.

that is a good thought - i don't think it would explain my problem, since I drank almost 2 gallons yesterday. didn't do the taurine, but does that help with the headache?

i still have this ****ing headache!

**Soup** · 12-03-2004, 03:12 PM

no help for headache but will help for cramps. Drink plenty of water though. the headache maybe due to dehyydration or higher BP.

**bignatt** · 12-03-2004, 03:25 PM

i think clen is good and worth it the only thing i dont like is that i feel like i am nervous even though im not if that makes any sense haha

Thanks, bro. Downing the water over here in case that's it. I have read a lot about the possibility of increased BP being a cause of it. Anyone know how to lower BP? I know aspirin thins the blood - maybe that would help. It might help relieve pain at the very least.

Keep in mind that clen sides are usually the worst the first few days and then decrease. If you can stick it out, things should get better.

that's good advice, bro. i have too much important stuff to do right now though to have a massive headache, though. i think i may have to punt on this one, and try again in a few weeks when things calm down.

Haa Haa, I know what that's like. I was having trouble typing. Hitting doubble keyss and stuff. Just curious, is this your first run on clen , and did you start off at 80 mcg or build up to it?

I built up to it in 4 days. Yes its my first run...maybe my last if I cant shake these sides.

Cool, man. I was just thinking for any first timers who might be reading this thread, it just goes to it pays to err on the side of caution, cause you never know how your body will react to a new substance. Even if you're like me and have a pretty high tolerance to most substances (caffeine, effedra, painkillers, alcohol, etc...) Good luck with it, bro.
