So I'm trying to cut. I usually cut drug-free however this time ima use albuterol because my appetite is crazy (due to the doxepin that I'm taking, I need 1000 cals over my maintenance just to feel satisfied). I was able to cut for 3 days then I stopped. I will start at 12 mg per day and work my way up to 24. How long can I stay on it ? Some people do 2 weeks on 2 weeks off but not sure what to do... Has anyone used clen/albuterol here?
I already considered ECA but I can't get ephedrine.
Clenbuterol has been around a long time now and is well known within the bodybuilding world for it ability to strip off fat. Without going into to much detail clen simply stimulates your beta-2 receptors. Clen is not approved by the FDA for use in humans so non anecdotal information for use in humans is like hen's teeth. With animal studies clen has shown to build muscle and increase strength. But as stated there is very little information proving that clen does the same with humans. As you know animals are quite different in their make up from us, including they have more beta-2 receptors than us. In animal studies clen has caused heart damage when given over extended periods of time.
When I have run clen I notice a strength increase, can't remember if it had any effect on my cardio as it has been awhile since I used clen
Clen has a half life of between 7 to 9 hours. Apart from the normal sides associated with clen such as raised body temperature, shakes etc some users also suffer from insomia.Most users will cycle the drug two weeks on two weeks off to clear out their receptors. The other way, which I prefer is to run ketotifen every 3rd week to restore receptor function. Some users of clen get bad cramps, taking a taurine supplement will most often counter this.
Albuterol unlike clen is approved for human use so there are plenty of studies around. It is in fact perscribed by Doctors for asthmatics. Albuterol is basically a shorter acting version of clen with a half life of 3 to 4 hours. So people who suffer from insomnia on clen will often find albuterol does not cause this. As it is faster acting you need to dose more. I do three doses a day last one around 5pm so don't have any sleeping problems.
It has been proved in human studies that albuterol increases strength, often accompanied with increased muscle mass. Another positive aspect of albuterol is that it increases your endurance capability as well.
I have some great workouts when on albuterol I find the strength increase is much better than clen, I look bigger and can really hammer the rower or running machine due to the increased endurance I have.
Albuterol has a positive impact on overall cholesterol levels. So basically lowers the bad cholesterol and raises the good cholesterol. All the studies done have shown no heart damage to the users.
Due to the shorter half life there is a lower level of beta-2 receptor downgrade so you can run it longer than clen. I have run albuterol for 6 weeks straight with my body temperature still increasing. I check this with an in ear thermometer first thing. If it does stop working then just like clen you can stop for a couple of weeks or use something like ketoifen.
I don't believe any of the other antihistamines up-regulate beta-2 receptors. Stick to ketotifen fumarate. It's cheap and it works.
Ketotifen slows desensitization of Beta receptors (i.e. Upgrades them) by inhibiting phospholipase A2, which is the enzyme that breaks down methylated phospholipids, and this action in turn keeps the phospholipid membrane stable, and thus keeps the receptors functioning properly.
I don't believe any of the other antihistamines do this. People have speculated diphenhydramine could but I don't think there are any studies to back it up
Hope this helps....
