Is it weird I had a bad reaction to EQ?

[Philly Grappler]

I started 400 mg/week of Equipoise a few weeks back. I chose equipoise because I read it was a weak steroid and will help to build up quality mass over time, and that most if it can be kept. I also liked that EQ can sometimes help with endurance. Anyway, I was miserable and grumpy and found myself flying off the handle at dumb sh!t. I didn't put 2 and 2 together until my girlfriend recently asked me if I was on something cause I'm miserable and angry all of the time. I heard the same type of stuff from my friends, claiming I've been pissed off and grumpy lately. I read on a site that EQ can increase aggression but I wasn't doing a huge does -400 mg/week; although I am only 5'6 and 168 lbs. I usually do get every side effect when I take meds, so I don't know. Anybody with a similar experience?

By the way, I'm on an HRT does of Test Cyp. I didn't do the EQ by itself. Never had an issue with the Test though. I keep my levels in the high side of normal.

Your wasting your time, 400mg/week will barely give you any gains, and I wouldn't recommend using it alone. Also your diet must be lacking if you are only 168 lbs, I would suggest you stop your cycle do PCT, and possibly learn a little more before starting again, next time using Test. How old are you and what is your current diet?

For a 5'6 frame 170 lbs is pretty stocky for me. I compete in the 150's so I can't get any heavier than that. I didn't do the EQ by itself, I'm on an TRT does of Test cyp. My diet is your basic high protein, eat every 3 hour diet. I wasn't trying to get big, I wanted to get stronger while maintaining the same body weight. I actually did do alot of research before the cycle. 400 mg seems to be the dose to start at. I read effective does for men was 400-600 mg/week, so I figured I'm not a huge guy, I'll start at the low dose and increase as needed.

He is on test. Its a crap shoot as to how these different compounds affect different people. I do agree that you should be taking more eq if you are going to continue!! 600 a week for at least 12 weeks to see much in the way of gains.

Um... if you don't want to get big why are you taking steroids? If your doc prescribed you with 200mg/week TRT dose you should have no problems having a good shape at low weight. If you absolutely wanna take something, and it's mainly for strength and shape I would recommend Masteron instead of EQ, but imo you don't really need anything.

Basically taking steroids to get stronger and help my body recover from all of the workouts quicker. I train twice a day. That's why I was using EQ. I didn't want to use a drug like D-bol that is usually used for bulking.

[Mooseman33]

if ur taking steroids to recover from workouts, why not just use HGH, seeing how ur on HRT already?

and the OP said he has a bad reaction to EQ, please dont tell him to up the dose guys...

[Philly Grappler]

I'd love to get my hands on HGH, it's just so d@mned expensive lol.

give Var a whirl then brotha man if you are so gung ho on using AAS... That's My Opinion.. by your name I take it you either FIGHT or compete in Grappling tourney's...

Also, Primo would be an option and so wouldn't Masteron.. other than that if you are not looking to gain a lot of size than you are pretty much stranded to those 3 options since EQ is outta the picture.. THE OTHER AAS are typically used for bulking.. and some of the others HALO and such are used for AGGRESSION mainly... stay away from cheque drops...and Halo... TRY VAR.. or T-BOL maybe.. since you are on HRT you don't need to worry your head with PCT but always keep some compounds on hand to battle possible gyno.. IE- A-DEX....

He does not have to do pct... He is on TRT and does a shot of cyp Every week or every other week
