1-AD allergic reaction?

[SilentSurfer]

I've just started my second cycle of 1-AD, 2 months after a successful first cycle. I tried a topical version for 2 weeks, but found that I got no results. So, 5 days ago I went back to oral.

This time however, starting 2 days ago, I've been getting mild allergy-type reactions after I take it(red itchy eyes, itchy palms and feet, itchy chest). It's happened twice before, but I never put it together with the 1-AD.

I suppose it could be something else I'm eating, but I can't account for it. Seems to be worse about 1 hour after taking it. (I'm taking only 1 cap 3x per day).

Anyone else have this problem? I don't want to give up on the 1-AD, but if this keeps up I'll have to start stacking it with Benadryl!

I take a total of 9 capsules throughout the day and Ive noticed that my right foot goes numbat night but thats it.

Hey Silent....it sounds like you are having a niacin rush.Are you taking niacin with the 1-AD?

Hey So...9 pills a day?The dosage is supposed to be 3.I've heard of some taking 6,but 9?What type of results are you getting?

 

[SilentSurfer]

No, not taking niacin. The only other supp I'm taking is some zinc and some magnesium (only at night) and creatine. Symptoms seem to come within an hour or 2 of 1-AD doses.

I'll keep experimenting and try to nail it down.

 

[SilentSurfer]

Well, today the symptoms were significantly reduced. I still get some eye and skin itchiness about 45 minutes after each 1-AD dose, but nothing like yesterday.

Must have been something I ate, perhaps reacting with the 1-AD.

Weighed in today. Up 7 lbs this week. Amazing.

I felt like my prostate was swelling up on 1-AD , and my skin got really oily.

The recomended dose is 3 (100mg ea.) pills 3 times a day for 900mg total.

Some people take 2 pills 3 times a day (600mg) for a moderate stack, but for conversion effectiveness and the best gains potential all sources say take the 900mg.

the hard part for me is going off the stuff, but I do take at least 2 weeks off after a 3 or 4 week on cycle.

 

[SilentSurfer]

It's been 5 days since I posted the first message in this thread. I'm still getting slight reactions after each single capsule dose of 1-AD (red, itchy eyes, itchy palms) but not nearly as bad as before. I'll try upping the dose and see if it gets worse. Still, I don't remember having this issue on my first cycle.

But, it's really quite mild and I don't think it's cause for alarm. I'm up 6 lbs in a week on the first week of my second cycle. It's really pretty amazing. I took off my shirt the other day in the bathroom at home and my wife said, "Woah!, where did that body come from?" ;-)

 

[riskybiz007]

6 pounds in 1 week is very good. Do u know how much is fat or water (if holding water)?

SS and others,

I should be getting my 1-AD in any day now...just ordered one bottle, which according to the "normal" dosage should get me through a 3-week cycle...at some point (probably about mid way through) during that cycle, if things seem to be going well, I'll probably order another bottle so I can get it in before I'm done with the first bottle.

what I'm going to really, really try to do is chart my progress. I'll keep track of some key lifts (bench, squat, deadlift, dumbell bi curl, dumbell tri press and chins or something for back) and how I progress during the cycle...I'll also keep track of my BF and weight...I'm not going to make any other supplement or diet changes, so that should be held constant during this pseudo-experiment. I'll also take some before and after pics...I'm borrowing the digital camera, so not sure if I'll be able to do weekly updates with the pics, but I'll do as many as possible, and I'll try to keep a journal of overall body changes (i.e. allergies, emotional states, general feelings of well-being, etc.).

Should be interesting to see how my results stack up against some of the others here that have reported good results with 1-AD. For the record, I'm a 30 year old, late-to-the-iron game, hard-gainer that is looking for "legal" means to jump start my training...I've been at it for about a year and half with consistency, and made decent gains, but I want to try and get to the next level. We'll see if 1-AD is the ticket.

I'll keep you all posted....hopefully I get the stuff this weekend, and can start next week....

hey everyone, what do you guys think of "sci-fit's" ANDRO-1 , its the same ingredients of 1-AD by ergopharm , but its cheaper , do u think theres any difference in them?

 

[SilentSurfer]

One solution...

I've found that the "tired red itch eyes" problem for me is definitely related to 1-AD and seems to be dose dependent. I started 2 caps 3x per day yesterday and I look and feel like I've got a sinus infection, but I don't.

But I think I've solved it with a simple solution:

It's "Visine: A". Nite Visine AC, but Visine:A. It has an antihistimine in it. After each dose of 1-AD, I put one drop in each eye and then I don't get alergy symptoms in my eyes. I know it's just covering it up, but for a few weeks this will be fine.

About the Sci-Fit product. Their site's been down for several days. So I can't comment. Seems like I ought to be able to feel the difference if there is any (at least the reaction I'm getting

 

[ohbejuan]

i just found it, cheap

found it today, nutritionguys.com , comfortnutrition.com has it too i believe

Hair Loss?

Heys guys,

I just came off my third cycle. I was noticing more than ordinary hairs in my shower trap. Anybody else experiencing this? I was stacking the 1-AD with Tribex. Maybe the synergy caused something.

Besides the sprouting of a second penis, that's about the only side I had.

 

[SilentSurfer]

OK. I've upped the dose to 2 caps 3x a day for several days now and the "allergic reation" symptoms did not increase.

Growth and strength are definitely kicking in. I'm 2 weeks into my second cycle. First cycle added 17 lbs. Lost only 2 in the 2 months following.

So far in this cycle I'm up 11 lbs. Amazing.

 

[bodyfx]

Wow Silent.You have actually added about 25 pounds of muscle on two cycles of 1AD?If thats true,thats incredible....sounds like Anadrol.Keep us up to date on your progress!

1-AD ITCH

I too have had itchy palms and chest (and beard and crotch and back of the neck) that I think is related to 1-AD. After only a couple of weeks at a moderate to small dose (100 mg 2X a day). My eyelids got very swollen also. I noticed on the website for 1-AD that itchy rash is a possible side effect especially in the hot weather months. It has been in the upper 80's and humid the past few days. I stopped taking it 2 days ago and am still itchy. Benadryl helps but only for a few hours. I was quite concerned until I saw that I am not alone. I don't know if I'll be finishing my cycle. So itchy. I'm not usually and allergic reaction type person. Seems a little scary. Does anybody know more?

 

[swole56]

hahahahha that much weight from 1-ad get real here dude. I would love to see before and after pics. People gain 17 when maybe on 2 different AAS and losing 2 lbs off what you trying to prove on here

 

[Itchy Palms]

Looks like silent surfer hasn't posted to this thread for a couple of years... wonder if he still uses 1-AD? I am still looking for anyone else who has had allergic reactions to it. I stopped using it for a few days and the itch subsided ... then tried a dose and sure enough ITHCY. The FAQ's sheet on the info/website for 1-AD did mention an irritant property similar to hot peppers associated with 1-AD. Perhaps it interacted with something else I ate? Whatever, just curious if there is anybody out there who knows ANYTHING.

 

[Badbart]

I find 1-AD can be very harsh for some people including myself. I did one 6 week cycle and made great gains but at the end of the cycle I got a sinus infection. I didn’t really think much about it. Then the second time I tried 1-AD I got the same sinus infection but much quicker. I even tried a 1-Test trandermal and still got the same sinus infection. Needless to say I don’t touch the stuff now. I’ve seen people complain of flu like symptoms to bad allergic reactions to 1-AD. For those who can handle 1-AD it’s a great PH but for people like myself it kicks my ass.

 

[Itchy Palms]

Thanks for your reply. I think I will be staying away from 1-AD.

 

[LifterCA]

1-AD has worked wonders for me. I just take it as a single stack. I have been 2 weeks in and seem my weight go up tremendously. Now I just need to work on bulk, and that will be done in the next two weeks.

I hope to do another cycle but with different PH's. There is 1-Max-Test I would love to try which already has 1-Test. The guy at max muscle says he's got a great stack for me to do. So who knows.

How many cycles does it take to see the "steroid" like effects(ie. getting huge)?

 

[Boss Ballin]

my friend took it for a week and his face got swollen and he said it made his knees ache.

 

[Dave949]

I got a severe allergic reaction from Nutrex 1TU .
The first time I did the stuff I had no problems what so ever. This was back in May and I stacked it with 1AD at the time. I took 6 1AD`S and 6 1TU`s a day for 6 weeks and I put on 10 lbs, I did get stronger and my pumps lasted for over an hour after my workout was finished. I took 6 weeks off and only lost 5 of the 10 lbs. I gained. I started cycle again on August 2 using 6 Nutrex`s 1TU`s a day. Within 1 week I started to get cramps and diahrear and the next week my scalp started to itch like I had a million mosiquito bites on it and then the next day I broke out in a rash under my arms, on the front of my lats, around my waist and on the insides if my thighs around my groin. The next day after that my eyes and eye lids swelled up. I WAS FUCKING FREAKING. I stopped taking everything one week ago and the symptoms are slowly but surely going away. No more itching but just a lil rash left. I don`t know if its a heat thing cuz its a lot hotter here now in CA. then it was when I first took in May. I`m stumped about the whole thing........I have no idea what happened this time but it sure was no picnic. If anyone has any clues, I am all ears.
