Look got a friend that mixed a cylce of dianabol and teston QV 200, 1cc every week. Well since he's off them his brain or his head has been affecting him, he can't workout anymore cause every time he goes to lift weight he gets bluring in the vision and an instant headach, he says he feels like throwing up and feels like he's about to pass out.
Any answers would help me thnks.

Yes they certain can affect your brain. Your friend is not imaging his symptoms. If his symptoms do not go away shortly I suggest that he contact a dr as blurred vision and headaches don't sound good. Anytime you get blurred vision it's a red flag being sent up by your body to you saying "please pay attention to me as there is something very wrong".

Your friend was taking 2 strong androgens. I have mixed D-bol and Testosterone numerous times over the past 12 years. Strong androgens can give you headaches from the increase in blood pressure.

But it sounds like what your friend has is a lot worse than what steroids do. It sounds like he has strained himself, possibly from lifting too heavy of a weight. I agree, in that he should see his doctor, but I strongly disagree that steroids had ANYTHING to do with this.

Also, you mentioned he was taking QV 200, 1cc a week. QV (brand name is Quality Vet) is a veterinary steroid of testosterone, in 200mg/ml strength. If he was taking 200mg per week (1 cc), then his dosing was VERY light considering what most bodybuilders (including myself) taken on a weekly basis.

Also, you said these symptoms came AFTER he finished his cycle, and NOT during. Again, steroids has nothing to do with how is head is feeling right now. Tell him to go get checked...

... and tell him to get his blood work done too to see what his tesosterone to epitestosterone ratios are. If this ratio is off, his doctor may have to perscribe him a fertility drug to bring back his hormone levels to normal. I'm guessing he never took any anchillary drugs to help him recover (huge mistake)...

... he sounds very uneducated, and should have done more research before pursuing this level of commitment. I studied steroids, anabolics, and androgens for 5 years before I started...
