The "EQ" Discussion Thread

[OXANDRIN]

Let's figure out what causes:

1. EQ Hunger
2. EQ anxiety

I have yet to see or hear a solid theory from someone as to what causes these disorders in people using EQ. If I were to make a guess I'd have to say hunger & anxiety are related to the neurotransmitters in the brain.... could EQ lower or distrupt the balance more than other AAS?

Good ?'s... I've run EQ in my last 5 cycles. appitite does increase but never exper. the anxiety that others have.

I have the hunger only when I inject 1 time per week at a low dose. No anxiety here, but I do encounter the infamous "sleeplessness."

i havent used eq for 2yrs and i cant recall the sleeplessness but i do remember a tad bit of anxiety and alot of hunger

I used EQ for a 10 week cutter and check my blood sugar 3 times daily. What I found was that my average sugar level dropped by 8 points coming into the 4th week...which is consistent with the longer acting ester.

I haven't read anything to coorelate this and 8 points in not very significant but may help in your quest for answers.

i am starting a cycle using eq/prop/var shortly (if my goddamn order EVER arrives from a FORMERLY!!!! reputable source. i have never gotten the reason why eq would cause increased hunger. (we know eq is used for horses, is this why it makes you hungry as a horse?) strange what we will take and do for more muscle isn't it?

EQ is used for getting a horse to eat and build lean mass. It works well. Does it have the same appetite increase in humans... my guess is no. One day after an EQ injection in a horse, he will be kicking the side of the stall to get more food. This doesn't happen in humans the same way, why? Don't know.

OXANDRIN, I'm not much help in this but EQ is one of my favorite AS....looking forward to trying it next time with some Oxandrolone.

I've used it several times ranging from 350-600mgs/weekly and what I did notice was my uncontralable hunger at 600mgs/week. Next time I will keep it at 400mgs/week for a minimum of 16 weeks. No anxiety here by the way.

interesting answer. who knew horses had to be given drugs to eat? and why do people care if horses have lean muscle mass?

First of all, many anabolics cause hunger. Not just eq. Dbol quite famous, test at many doses, and tren can make many very hungry. All are presumed to affect histaminic and glucocorticoid receptors. As far as anxiety, winny definitely, and eq often has been shown to strip GABA receptors in the brain as well as affect serotonin receptor density. Benzodiapenes (which agonize GABA) and antidepressants (which raise serotonin) are both used for anxiety treatment. So the fact that many steroids affect GABA and serotonin in individuals to different degrees has been enough to explain the occasional reaction.

In other words, there is no mystery here. And there is nothing unique about eq. Often this board seems not to understand that all AR anabolics are fairly similar in basic mechanisms, and non-ar anabolics are fairly similar in their way. It's not like eq is some unbelievable molecule. It might as well be an injectable dbol, if you consider its shape. There is not some holy grail of knowledge at the end of your questions. This has been overdone some time ago. Let the horse die, and focus on growth.

The only scientific uncertainties in AAS are how stacking affects results. Each anabolic's receptor profile has been uncovered enough to explain its common sides. This was done by the 70's for most agents. Research now focuses on how hitting the anabolic receptor (by any aas) actually causes growth, through which messengers, etc. Also, the utility of GH, especially when combined with anabolics, is still quite uncertain.
