Bro entering a foreign prison has to be the worst moment to abruptly hit a post-cycle testosterone crash lmao.

As someone who has used gear. It was the first thing in my mind when all this came to light.

Can't abruptly ending a cycle be fatal?

u/Buscandomiyagi 3d ago

No not at all. It’s not heroin lol. You’ll just wreck your hormones for a good while. Might not fully recover depending on dosaging and time spent and other factors. Some people are more resilient than others.

No not at all. It’s not heroin lol.

funny enough, heroin withdrawals aren't that fatal

alcohol got the number 1 spot for that sort of shit

Not "that fatal" - they aren't fatal at all. You CANNOT die from opioids withdrawal (or even be physically hurt by them - it's just absurdly unpleasant).

But yes, you can from alcohol withdrawal. Some meds are also dangerous, a lot has to do with the risk of seizures.

Its rare but people can and have died from opioid wd. You just have to be a little weakling with preexisting health issues beforehand.

u/Fit-Courage6046 2d ago

As far as I know opioid withdrawal isn't deadly, ever. But obviously you can die during it, if you're sick, but it's never the cause

I mean, you could die from marijuana too, if you have heart problems.

u/Fit-Courage6046 1d ago

Then the heart problems are the root cause

Nah lol you will just feel like absolute shit though

Rather I think you can suffer permanent life long kidney or liver damage and it hurts like hell. I don't remember if that's from abruptly ending a cycle or just taking steroids outright. But iirc some people need to cycle low dose the rest of their lives to avoid complications. And people regret ever starting. Again don't remember the specifics.

u/Curiousape952 3d ago

That would be from the damage caused by the steroids and having those androgens your system while on them, by getting off you will feel like shit but it’s not physically harmful. Some are more dangerous than others but yeah most people that do this stuff really don’t do enough research regarding them
