Megace use along with Androgens for increased appetite and weight gain. Good idea?

[gabegabeson]

I was talking with someone the other day and I also read somewhere that Megace which is a female hormone can promote appetite and rapid weight gain, An average of about 3lbs a week for some people. I read that if used with androgens like Testosterone it could possibly be of some benefit for bodybuilders. Is this true? I would worry about the sexual side effects it would cause but if I stacked it with Testosterone and had Cialis on hand I think I would be okay. Is it worth it to bulk up some or is it a bad idea to use Progestin like drugs?

It will enhance your appetite but I'm not sure it's a good idea.

Megace is a TERRIBLE drug for bodybuilders. It increases appetite but also raises estrogen and (if I remember correctly) cortisol, both of which promote fat gain and muscle loss. They tested this drug for wasting in HIV patients, and they determined that it adds weight mostly as fat and not as lean body mass. Taking Anabolic Androgenic Steroids (AAS) would counteract some of the bad effects of Megace, but why work at cross-purposes? Dianabol is a terrific appetite stimulant. So is IGF-1...

Megace is used worldwide for patients with malnutrition, but its only used in dire situations. There are far better and ones that will put lean meat on you instead of just fat.

It's a progesterone agonist, because it's going to mess with the hormones I would avoid it. Will only serve the muddy the waters. Plus it isn't that strong. Plus just eat.
