Introduction

As a bodybuilder and potential Nandrolone Decanoate user, there is one thing that you should always consider before use and that is the risk of addiction.

The withdrawal symptoms of Nandrolone is quite like most anabolic steroids. However, withdrawal symptoms actually vary in terms of their severity. The withdrawal symptoms can range from physical manifestations to mental health issues.

 

What Causes Nandrolone Withdrawal Symptoms

Before we go into the typical withdrawal symptoms associated with Deca-Durabolin, it is first important to know what causes a user to experience withdrawal symptoms to begin with.

Deca-Durabolin withdrawal symptoms can occur in two primary situations. The first is when there is a sudden stop in the use of the steroid and the second is when there is a drastic reduction in Nandrolone dosage that is administered.

When Nandrolone Decanoate is used, it mimics the functions of natural testosterone in the body. Steroid use increases the level of synthetically produced testosterone in the body and limits the natural production of testosterone.

As you suddenly lower the Nandrolone dosage or stop using the drug completely, it causes hormonal imbalance in the body as the natural production of testosterone has been halted by the drug, this in turn leads to the display of Nandrolone withdrawal symptoms.

With a low level of natural testosterone in the body, you are more than likely to experience some withdrawal symptoms.

Nandrolone Withdrawal Symptoms

There are many factors that influence the severity of the Nandrolone withdrawal symptoms experienced by a bodybuilder.

Some of these factors include:

  • The duration of use of Nandrolone Decanoate.
  • The average daily dosage of the steroid.
  • The frequency of use of the drug.
  • Information on the use of Nandrolone in a stack of other anabolic steroids or with other types of drugs and even alcohol.
  • The physical and mental medical history of the Nandrolone user. Including their gender, BMI, height and so on.
  • The method of administration of Nandrolone.
  • The elimination half-life of Nandrolone.

 

The elimination half-life of Nandrolone Decanoate is between 6 and 12 days. This is the duration in which half the concentration of the steroid dosage leaves the body after use. The longer the half-life of a steroid, the longer the withdrawal symptoms are likely to be.

 

The Timeline for Nandrolone Withdrawal

After about 6 to 13 days of not using Nandrolone Decanoate, the withdrawal symptoms begin to take root. You may notice slight headaches, irritability and even nausea.

Between 7 to 14 days of not using Nandrolone, you may begin to experience a drop in your energy levels, concentration and overall alertness. You may start displaying signs of psychological and mental illness, such as; anxiety and depression.

By the third week, you may experience some weight loss and abdominal pains. Some bodybuilders are also known to suffer from restlessness and even insomnia.
