Wild story!
The doctor was his godfather. My friendās father was a doctor but had died while he was in high school. I suppose that my friendās godfather thought that anabolic steroids would help a little. My friend told me he took two 2mg Winstrol tablets per day. He never told me the cycle length.

Funny you say that. When he told me the story I had only been lifting weights about one year and had never heard of anabolic steroids. I just listened and thought it was a bit interesting. As far as I know he only took AAS when in high school. He got me to start lifting weights, but never seemed very interested in doing it himself while we knew each other. Could it be because I heard his story in 1969? Obviously, I never forgot the story, maybe because it was my brief introduction to AAS.

You can still buy those 2mg tablets
Providing sources is against the rules but I have the ability to get those pharm grade 2mg tablets
I have no interest though
Unfortunately i reread this thread. ( wish I hadnāt) the drugs mentioned above brings buried memories back to the surface ā¦ since my wife was on these simular drugs and was wasting away in a hospital bed.
What country? Is piritramide even used in the US? Not often used anymoreā¦ at least I thought this was the case
Maybe not that one.. but in general
Tramadol? (more like tramadont lol due to the pharmacological profile/potential for complications)
Piritramide is a fully synthetic opiateā¦. The only other fully synthetic opiates commonly used are fentanyl, methadone, tramadol and tapentadol.
Of all of those Tramadol and tapentadol are the only two less potent (mg/mg) than morphine. Tramadol being 0.1 and tapentadol being roughly .33x as potent.
For clarification I edited my wording to simular to avoid confusion.
Iām actually suprised OPās friend is on such an obscure drug. Apparently this drug is only used in a few countries like Slovenia. Thereās another obscure painkiller called metamizole (not an opiate) that is quite effective but in VERY rare cases can cause life threatening serious adverse effects leading it to be pulled from most western and non western countries.
Another obscure one is Tilidine, itās an opiate used in portions of Europe. My favourite pulled pain medication is dextropropoxyphene. Itās an extremely weak opiate but also has potent local anaesthetic effects. I found it ridiculously effective for painā¦ It has a nasty side effect of causing fatal arrhythmia even at prescribed doses on occasionā¦ Or a patient would take two tablets instead of one and straight up go into cardiac arrest.
Shameā¦ I tried getting a prescription like five years ago and the doctor had to print out a forum where I consented to potential sudden cardiac death (as that form needs to be filled out for patients taking it, the drug was pulled almost everywhere) and that form spooked the doctor.
I was looking for something to take a few times a month when I have really terrible pain (I have genetic disease that causes major joint issues over time and killed my grandfather at 49). I was willing to take the risk given how effective it is.
āSevere toxicity can occur with small increments above the therapeutic dose including cardiotoxicity, and fatal overdosesā
Sorry to hear about your wife.
No worriesā¦ she passed over 3 years ago from stage 4. The thread just reminded me of the whole thing .
Thatās why Iām interested in knowing what the full story is
My mother has cancer. Stage three, but almost certain to come back long term
Was really awful watching treatment take her from high functioning (doctor/MD) to a shell of the person she was. She never really recovered after the chemo and still takes some type of chemo long term and the drug is totally destroying her.
She is still in bed like twenty hours per dayā¦ I donāt think she will ever recover.
At this point she is adamant about the long term chemo as it slightly decreases rate of long term recurrenceā¦. but without it rate of progressing to metastatic disease by year 10-15 is around 100%ā¦ I wish she would just stop the chemo and live life while she still can, because she canāt live with the drug she is takingā¦
Yeah it sucksā¦ this was her 2nd bout of it. Ironically it was a completely different one.
So i feel for you.
