HAVE YOU EVER HAD UNEXPLAINED "BLACKOUTS" AFTER COMING OFF A CYCLE?

I am a researcher at McLean Hospital/Harvard Medical School who has been studying anabolic steroids for many years (feel free to Google my name and "steroids" if you're interested). I also happen to be a bodybuilder myself.

In the last several years, I've encountered two guys, both of whom had recently come off a cycle, who developed strange "blackout" episodes, during which they lost all memory for a block of several hours of time. Neither the two men was taking any type of drug when the blackouts occurred; it just seemed to happen at random.

Is there anybody else out there was ever had this happen to them during the first few months after coming off a cycle? If you have experienced anything like this, or you know anybody who has, I would be extremely interested to hear your story. You could post a reply to me here in the thread, or you can e-mail me privately at [email protected]. Of course you don't have to reveal your name or other identifying information if you don't want to.

Even if your story doesn't completely fit with the above, please don't hesitate to write me. Thanks.

It sounds like it may be a insulin/blood sugar associated side effect? What were the steroid(s) and growth factors (GH, IGF, insulin) used by these subjects in their most recent cycle before the episode(s)? What were the dosage amounts (mgs/mcgs)? Did this happen during or after PCT? What are their ages and medical background?

His email address goes back to Harvards website, Im pretty sure its legit. He would be a great asset to the AR community.

Hey God Father...."we should make him an off he can not refuse" ... :lol: ....sorry man i had to say dude :wg:

"offer"....ooops my bad; u guys can rip on me for my spellin now

Have not finished my first cycle yet, so no real opinions on the matter.

Still... bump for science.

Believe it or not, Ive had lots of blackouts from the M1T cycle I was once on...But iv never got them from a real Cycle. NO clue why that was.
