Prednisone with sustanon

[blize]

I was recently diagnosed with Colitis and was prescribed 60 mg of prednisone p day. My problem is the rapid weight loss is making me crazy ! almost 10 pounds in 3 weeks. And its not just water. I was wondering if I could use a little sustanon with the prednisone to counteract the rapid weight loss?

Whats ya age, stats, lifting & cycle experience? etc

[blize]

Age 39. Been lifting since age 21. I lift about 6 times a week. Im not a hardcore builder but I train hard and like to keep the mass up on my 5' 7" frame at around 172 - 175 lbs.I eat healthy about 4- 5 meals per day. I am a hard gainer with very low body fat. Been cycling primo ( about 1cc) with sustanon ( about 1cc) 8 weeks on / 8-10 weeks off for a couple years. I ween off with nolvadex and 6 oxo or some other anti aromatase. Started my last cycle about 4 weeks ago but that was interrupted cold turkey because I freeked out that the colitis was caused by the gear. 5 weeks ago I was nearly 175 and yesterday barely hit 164. Appetite is healthy.

Weird. Prednisone and other corticosteroids generally cause an increased appetite and water retention.

I haven't seen the relationship between prednison with sustanon but have seen hormonal contraceptive.

Please read these :

tell your doctor and pharmacist what prescription and nonprescription medications, vitamins, and nutritional supplements you are taking or plan to take. Be sure to mention any of the following: amiodarone (Cordarone, Pacerone); anticoagulants ('blood thinners') such as warfarin (Coumadin); certain antifungals such as fluconazole (Diflucan), itraconazole (Sporanox), ketoconazole (Nizoral) and voriconazole (Vfend);aprepitant (Emend); aspirin; carbamazepine (Carbatrol, Epitol, Tegretol); cimetidine (Tagamet); clarithromycin (Biaxin, in Prevpak); cyclosporine (Neoral, Sandimmune); delavirdine (Rescriptor); diltiazem (Cardizem, Dilacor, Tiazac, others); dexamethasone (Decadron, Dexpak); diuretics ('water pills'); efavirenz (Sustiva); fluoxetine (Prozac, Sarafem); fluvoxamine (Luvox); griseofulvin (Fulvicin, Grifulvin, Gris-PEG); HIV protease inhibitors including atazanavir (Reyataz), indinavir (Crixivan), lopinavir (in Kaletra), nelfinavir (Viracept), ritonavir (Norvir, in Kaletra), and saquinavir (Fortovase, Invirase); hormonal contraceptives (birth control pills, patches, rings, implants, and injections); lovastatin (Altocor, Mevacor); medications for diabetes; nefazodone; nevirapine (Viramune); phenobarbital; phenytoin (Dilantin, Phenytek); rifabutin (Mycobutin), rifampin (Rifadin, Rimactane, in Rifamate); sertraline (Zoloft); troleandomycin (TAO); verapamil (Calan, Covera, Isoptin, Verelan); and zafirlukast (Accolate).Your doctor may need to change the doses of your medications or monitor you carefully for side effects.

if you are having surgery, including dental surgery, or need emergency medical treatment, tell the doctor, dentist, or medical staff that you are taking or have recently stopped taking prednisone. You should carry a card or wear a bracelet with this information in case you are unable to speak in a medical emergency.
do not have any vaccinations (shots to prevent diseases) without talking to your doctor.
you should know that prednisone may decrease your ability to fight infection and may prevent you from developing symptoms if you get an infection. Stay away from people who are sick and wash your hands often while you are taking this medication. Be sure to avoid people who have chicken pox or measles. Call your doctor immediately if you think you may have been around someone who had chicken pox or measles.

good luck bro.

appetite is good. Strength is good. Only side effect would be lightheadedness.

[almostgone]

Ahh, so the colitis is the culprit for the weight loss???

its strange you are loosing weight on prednisone it usually causes a great deal of water retention and bloating usually you dont notice the muscle loss from it until after you discontinue use you may want to ask your physician about this but i was prednisone for inflammation in my back i did took deca trenbolone acetate with it no problems

[blize]

yes . Colitis causes diarrea / water loss .

[almostgone]

I guess your dietary restrictions aren't helping (no seeded berries, nuts, etc.). I wish I had the answer, but I don't

AG

yes . Colitis causes diarrea / water loss .

[blize]

yes, they are . I feel great . . Very little symptoms of the colitis left . Just wanted to know if i can mix the prednisone with the sustanon .

[almostgone]

All I can offer is that ended up on prednisone while on a test/tren cycle and I was very irritable. I'm definitely not suggesting you do it, that would have to be your decision.

AG

[blize]

thanks for the input dude.

[gixxerboy1]

im on prednisone and sust as we speak, no problems but the bloat from the predniosne

[brikks]

are you on any other meds at this time? I'm in a somewhat similar situation (minus the prednisone) and am very curious on it goes for you. Also, your weight loss may be solely due to your bathroom habits. Nutrients may be running through you with minimum absorption.

Do you still go to the restroom a lot (u mentioned the symptoms have gone down)? If yes, perhaps you should wait till that gets a little better.

[kick6]

I would talk to your doctor about possibly switching drugs. Prednisone is some vile, awful shit. My doc put me on it back when I was about 20, and I gained like 20 lbs of FAT in 6 weeks. I absolutely could not stop eating. Not to mention my liver values were ****ed for month afterwards AND my test levels stayed down for almost a full year.

Im soon getting off the prednisone and will be put on Remicade. I gotta tell you though that running to the bathroom 15 times a day can be freeking scary. "Episodes" are down to twice a day . Today was a good day. Weight is up 2 lbs overnight. Even if its water . If its a choice between sickly skinny and bloated...I choose bloated.
After consideration of my symptoms as of the last 3 days I decided to take the sus ( 1.5 cc) . Ill let you know how it goes.
P.S. My colitis symptoms started a week after starting GH....

[Wavelover]

I read in one article that prednison may caused muscle loss.
If I were you I don't take sustanon untill cessation of prednison because prednison will interact with Birth controll hormon, and the hormon contain estrogen. If you take sustanon, it will be converted to became estrogen in your body, it will wreak havoc your hormon system.
So far that my advice.

I agree, I was on prednisone a fed years ago and gained major weight (not the good weight). Wait until you are done with your meds and let your body heal and then start your cycle. Don't do a cycle while on this medication, especially such a high dosage.
