Horrible smell whilst in cycle

ad

I'm currently on my second cycle, my first was just dbol.
This time I am on dbol (due to finish in two weeks) test e and also taking Accutane.

This time round I am sweating a lot at night ( no change there) but on this cycle there is left in the morning a horrible smell in the pillows. Like a metallic ammonia type smell. I think it's coming from my hair, but my other half thinks it is because I am drooling in my sleep.

I dont think its th dbol as I had no issues last time, but for the life of me I cannot fathom what the cause is or whether I should be concerned about it, apart from the obvious smell. Anyone else experienced this or can shed some light on it I would be most greatful.

By the way I am on 50mg dbol ed. test e 400mg twice a week and Accutane is 20mg ed.

Hmmm, you have already tried a few things to try to get rid of it. Maybe increase antioxidant and vegetable intake, along with increasing water intake. Play around with these two things and take it from there, would recommend lowering protein intake as a last resort and then tapering it back up, as a very high protein diet can sometimes have this side effect.

Thanks for the advice. Veg intake is something I can play with. It's the weakest part of my diet tbh. I tend to stuff myself on the protein at meals and the anything that I can't physically get down is invariably the veg. Antioxidants I have well covered already.

Ragnarok, I'm coming to believe it's Test (e) related.

I dropped the dbol. As per cycle. Same issue. Have now dropped the Accutane too, let's see. How that goes, and see if the smell subsides.
The other half is unaware that I am using, so explaining / discussing why the pillows stink is difficult. And keep washing them will only make her think I'm using them for excess protein deposits.

At first I thought it might have been some vitamins, fish oil or garlic capsules I take but after skipping out on those for a few weeks to see if it helped it didn't change. For me it is def high test levels.

Not telling you to do anything at all. You're a man, you've got this handled. I simply share these links to help you going forward regarding chatting with your lady, and if or when the time is right, you'll be ready.

Thanks for the info and insight. Interesting cross section of views.

Although we have been together a long time, I have only just started on aas and have started down the route of commenting on articles on the news etc. to counter the disinformation out there. Will be a long road, but she's very opinionated and also very smart. She's already said she doesn't know what I'm doing down the gym differently these last few months but its certainly working.

Two "strategies" that may help you in regards to "planting seeds in her brain" (aka-making comments here and there) are:

  • Regarding any kind of medicine, there's use, misuse, and abuse. If you use it correctly, you get the desired results. Use and misuse have bad consequences.

  • If "steroids" comes up in any conversation, you can simply say, "I've heard people say that it's the same as a girl who takes birth control. She's just using a hormone for a desired result. If I ever want to have twenty inch arms, I'll do all kinds of drugs and eat like those big beasts do. Until then, I just want to lift weights, eat good meals with the ones I love, and live a healthy life."

Just adding this to your arsenal of communication, and I hope it helps.

My lady knows I'm using "low dose T" as well as "a medicine called primobolan, in low doses, which aids in recovery and boosts the immune system." She's never asked anything beyond, "are the needles hidden to where the kids can't find them?" to which I answered, "hell baby, you won't even find them, so no worries there." But my goals aren't to have 20 inch arms, so there you go. Low dose AAS is PERFECT for me, my goals, and my desired lifestyle.

I'm rooting for you, brother! -Zeus

I have the same problem brother. I have no idea what causes it. I have done research and can't find anything. I don't have the problem if im just running my trt, only when im on cycle and running high test. I just change pillow cases 3-4x per week and that takes care of the smell.

Drink more water should help some.

Body could be burning excess protein as fuel, especially if running low on carbs. By product is ammonia and it comes out in your sweat. Smells atrocious.

Body weight 200lb. Protein 300grams
Pee is normal. Unless not drank enough water that day. Which is rare.
I'm not running carbs too low.

800mg test in your second cycle? If this is correct then it is pretty high dose for a newb

Skin has never been good but on my first cycle it erupted. Accutane have been taking for just over 3 weeks

Dbol and accurate together? I think what you're smelling is your liver rotting from the inside.
