Prescribed 50mg/mL Deca-Durabolin once every 2 weeks, will any noticeable changes happen?

Hey guys,
 
I don't normally venture into this forum, didn't really plan on using gear at any point in time. Here's my story anyway:
 
6 months ago I came down with Guillain–Barré syndrome (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guillain%E2%80%93Barr%C3%A9_syndrome)
 
Basically after having an infection (cold, flu etc) the immune system goes haywire, and it mistakes the coating around the nerves (myelin) as a foreign body, it then starts to attack this coating. So within the space of 4 hours I went from walking, to not being able to stand, and being in tremendous pain (yes it was very exciting). Before all this happened, I was training 6 days a week (3 days weights, 3 days cardio).
 
Since then I've lost about 10kg (1.5 stone), so my doctor has prescribed me Deca-Durabolin to try and maintain some of the strength that I still have. The dosage I've been given is 50mg/mL, 1ml every 2 weeks.
 
So all I want to know is: will I notice any significant changes with this dosage? Do I have to up my calorie intake significantly to take advantage of it? I'll be honest, my confidence is crushed everytime I see the shape my body is in at the moment, and I would do almost anything to look halfway decent again.
 
Thanks for any help.

i wouldnt have thought you are going to notice anything on that dose mate. this is purely going on how much we all have to/choose to use to make a difference.

Im sorry to hear about your illness mate that sounds horrible.

I know myself when i broke both my shoulders how demoralising it is to watch all your hard work go down the drain keep your chin up mate and i wish you a speedy recovery.

As for the decca i wouldn't have thought it will make any difference to be honest

sorry to hear this, hope you are ok

i would have said deca was an odd choice for this, test would be better (sust in uk, prolly cyp in usa).

the sides of deca without added test are not what you want.  maybe discuss alternatives with the doc.

id agree would agree with this just say you done some research and sus 250 once every 3 weeks seems like a better choice

No.


Let's take a step back and just think for a moment.

250mg e3w is testosterone replacement therapy ballpark. He does not need testosterone replacement! He has not been diagnosed hypogonadal, so why are we talking about testosterone replacement?

Since then I've lost about 10kg (1.5 stone), so my doctor has prescribed me Deca-Durabolin to try and maintain some of the strength that I still have.

The replies to your query are geared toward an answer to which the question was not related. The OP is not being treated to achieve muscle anabolism. He is being treated upon clinical need to attempt to control further catabolism. To this end, deca is a valid option.

will I notice significant changes with this dosage?

No. But that's not the aim of your prescription, namely halting the deleterous effects of your medical condition.

very good point party boy .. i would still think deca would b to high on the side effect side of things to be the number 1 option for the idea of maintenance

Why? ,50mg deca every 2 weeks is hardly going to give many sides is it..

Thanks alot for your replies everyone. At first I thought, "Sweet, prescription steroids" then I read up about doses etc and saw that any gains would be negligible.

good answers by partyboy,  sometimes i think people need to step back when questions like this are posted, and question wether they know enough to answer it.
