Wow, why would you want to risk your health by taking unnessecary testosterone. There are a lot of bad side effects and some are irreversible, some may not be evident until later in life. Here are some side effects: testicular atrophy (gets smaller), blood in urine, decreased libido (sex drive), increased blood pressure (this is a high risk for future heart disease!), impotence, gynecomastia (grow boobs), dizziness, headache, tremors, paresthesias (numbness), flushing, sweating, anxiety, fatigue, lability (moody), insomnia, carpal tunnel syndrome, conjunctival edema (eye swelling), nasal congestion, abnormal glucose tolerance test, nausea, vomiting, constipation, weight gain, cholestatic jaundice (life threatening), rash, acne, oily hair & skin, alopecia (hair loss), muscle cramps, spasms, aggression, hypercalcemia (which can affect heart rhythms and muscles--paralysis), hypoglycemia in diabetics. Taking these irregularly and stopping abruptly can cause serious problems with your body's natural hormone production. This drug is metabolized in the liver and therefore can affect the liver...liver function tests should be checked periodically, potassium, sodium, chloride, calcium, cholesterol levels should be monitored also. Electrolyte (K, Na, Cl, Ca)imbalances can cause serious heart arrythmias! It sounds as though you are experiencing some ill effects since you are hyper...think what it is doing to your heart! I don't believe someone who cares about his appearance so much is willing to risk his health for it. This is very serious, see a doctor and let them help you to taper off the current drugs you are on and find a good exercise program to get the 6 pack abs! Trust me...I am working on a telemetry (heart monitoring) floor now...it is sad to see 30 year old people on the brink of death or just a life tied to tons of meds and trips to the hospital, pacemakers put in. And as far as real or fake??? Are you serious????YOu are taking a drug that you have no idea what it is? Do you want to die? I don't know if you are a teenager or not, but I have to believe that even a teenager knows how dangerous it is to take drugs that you don't know where they came from...especially capsules...who knows what they put in it. You want to take care of your body and look good? Stop taking steroids; don't take illegal drugs; maybe you will actually end up living a long healthy life. Please stop.
