Well, I thought after the first week and a half on deca, I was going to have to switch to anavar. My mood swings were out of control. Instead, I just lowered the dosage to 30mg a week, and things are going a lot better. Of course, I probably could have stayed on 60mg, and my hormones would have gone back to normal, but 30 is working just as well. I havent really experienced any other sides, except for a small amount of acne, nothing really noticable. My strength has definately increased though. I was thinking though, that maybe when a person is on cycle, the strength gains may be psychological. You know you are on cycle, so you work just a little harder? Just a theory, either way, it works for me lol. Anyway, I'll definately use deca again in the future...freakette
