Prelude

Dymethazine (aka mebolazine) was brought to market by iForce Nutrition in 2009, however, despite Dymethazine being ‘legal’ it was largely taken off the market due to recent FDA activities. Despite this, clones of the original Dymethazine have already been brought to the market, most notably D-Zine by Competitive Edge Labs is a quality confirmed source, throughout this article we will reference both Dymethazine and DZine as they’re both interchangeable featuring the same compound (2,17-dimethyl-5-androstan-17-ol-3,3′-azine – 15 mg per capsule)

Superdrol vs Dymethazine

Dymethazine is nearly identical to Superdrol, except it’s two (as opposed to one) superdrol molecules attached to each other, now based on this you may be thinking that Dzine is twice as powerful as Superdrol, this is not the case. Your bodies stomach acid separates these two molecules prior to absorption, so it becomes a single molecule just with two potential pathways, despite this difference Superdrol remains the more powerful compound.

The one advantage that Dymethazine has over Superdrol is the less likelihood of side effects or in the event of side effects being present they’re typically more manageable with dZine/dymethazine. Don’t take this as it being side-effect free, Dymethazine is an incredibly potent compound and carries the same risks as any other powerful anabolic steroid or pro-hormone.

Maintaining Health

Dymethazine is an oral based designer steroid that’s processed by the liver, Dymethazine is also a methylated compound and thus puts additional strain on our bodies liver. dZine is a very powerful product and carries our Class III rating therefore it will negatively impact blood pressure, lipid values, cholesterol levels and will put strain on the bodies endocrine system, there is also additional less serious side effects that we will discuss later. Most of these negative side effects have been present in steroid usage for decades, luckily over the years preventative herbal supplementation has been vastly improved to provide our bodies with protection for our livers, lipid values, cholesterol levels and help control adverse blood pressure effects. All-in-one cycle protection products have existed for several years and should be a staple in any steroid or pro-hormone cycle, therefore an all-in-one will be our basis for on cycle health support and is required for a proper cycle.

1. Anabolic Innovations – Cycle Support (Powder)
2. Anabolic Innovations – Life Support (Capsules)
3. Competitive Edge Labs – Cycle Assist (Capsules)

Either of the three are suitable choices, cost should be the deciding factor or whether you prefer capsules or powder. A general rule of thumb is to pre-load either of the products two weeks prior to beginning your cycle and continue to use throughout the entire cycle from start to finish, buy accordingly so you have enough on hand. These products will assist your body with maintaining healthy blood pressure, prostate health, liver function and lipid profile by utilizing popular herbs such as Hawthorn Berry (BP), NAC (liver), Milk Thistle (liver), Saw Palmetto (prostate) among others. Please follow the manufactures recommended dosage (as per bottle) as it’s the dosage known to work best.

Where as with many cycles, one of the products above would be sufficient on it’s own for cycle protection, however for Dymethazine it’s recommended to take the route “better safe than sorry” and provide our bodies with additional protection by supplementing with the following.

1. Himalaya LiverCare (Liv.52) – Will provide strong liver protection in conjunction with an the “all-in-one” products, very affordable at under $20 for a bottle. For Dymeth/Dzine cycles 2 capsules per day is recommended, use throughout the duration of the “on” period, can use in PCT as well.
2. NOW Grape Seed Antioxidant – Grape Seeds have shown in many studies to provide benefits in regards to blood pressure, cholesterol levels and lipid values by limiting lipid oxidation. For Dymeth/Dzine cycle, 2-3 capsules per day is recommended, use throughout the duration of the “on” period, should use in PCT as well. Under $10.

Dosing

For first time users of Dymethazine we recommend starting with a lower dosage, asses tolerance and then work your way up to the desired range or sweet spot., while experienced users can jump into higher dosages to start and can venture into longer cycles and higher doses. Dymethazine cycles are typically 3-5 weeks in length, with 4 weeks being the most common, 5 week cycles should be reserved for experience Dzine users. In general the higher the dosage, the shorter the cycle, those considering running 5 week cycles should keep the dosage to a maximum of 30mg. Below are two common dosing protocols.

Dymethazine dosing for new users:

Week1: 15mg / per day | Week 2-4: 30mg

Dymethazine dosing for experienced users:

Week1: 30mg / per day | Week 2-3: 30mg / per day | Week 3-4: 30-45mg / per day

In general with Dymethazine, three week cycles can be somewhat effective but a four week cycle will yield much improved results with limited additional risk therefore we recommend four week cycles for Dymethazine/dZine. In the event you decide on a three week cycle keep the dosage consistently throughout the entire cycle (example 30mg/30mg/30mg for week1/week2/week3). Advanced Dymethazine users can bump the dosage to 45mg but at this point the added potential for side effects begins to greatly increase, it’s a user unique experience if you feel the need to experiment with 45mg bump it up and then bring it back down to 30mg if the sides are too great. Many consider the sweet spot for h-drol to be a four week cycle ran at 30mg throughout the entire duration.

Dymethazine has a relatively long half life of 12-16 hours (as per iForce), users should split the dosage by at least 8-10 hours to ensure consistent levels the IDEAL dosing regiment would be one dosage in the morning and one dosage pre-workout later in the day/night or around dinner time. Dymethazine when compared to other anabolic steroids and pro-hormones works relatively quickly, users typically begin to experience the effects of dZine in 10-14 days.

Common Side Effects

The occurrence rate of side effects while using Dymethazine would be from semi-mild to moderate, however they’re completely user unique, some users may not experience any side effects, while other users will experience a combination of sides. It should be noted that the majority of these side effects are simply of inconvenience more so than a possible health affecting issue and for the most part can be resolved through simple supplementation, take sometime to read our article on combating side effects.

• Decreased Libido/Sexual Function
• Lethargy / Fatigue
• Increased hair growth / Increased hair shedding
• Puffy / Sensitive Nipples
• Joint Discomfort
• Back Pumps (Dull pain in back after/during workouts)
• Increased aggression, head aches, flushing and various other sides can happen as well.

Typical Results

Results will vary based upon the dosage, experience, diet and many other factors, in general dymethazine will provide exceptional lean body mass gains, excellent strength gains and endurance in the gym. Dymethazine works best when used in a Bulk due to it’s ability to help pack on the muscle at a vastly increased rate when eating a clean caloric surplus diet, with that said dymethazine can also be used in a cutting or recomp cycle, however other compounds are typically better suited than dzine (such as Epistane/Havoc or H-Drol) for those diet types.

• When used in a bulking diet, gains can range from 10-16lbs on a 4 week cycle at 30mg.
• When used in a recomp diet, gains can range from 6-9lbs on a 4 week cycle at 20mg, while also possibly reducing body fat 0-2%.
• When used in a cutting diet, gains can range from 4-6lbs on a 4 week cycle at 20mg, while also possibly reducing body fat 1-3%.

The ‘gain’ ranges above are considered somewhat normal, however some users have reported gains in upwards of 20lbs and some users may not experience many noticeable gains at all, results are largely dictated by diet

Gains are based on a lot of factors, but most importantly, keep your calorie intake very high throughout the cycle to maximize gains and don’t forget to lift hard & heavy with appropriate form.

Post Cycle Therapy

Possibly the most important item on the menu is post cycle therapy, when taking a foreign substance that creates testosterone your body begins to shut down it’s normal production, when you stop taking a pro-hormone or steroid compound your body needs a way to jump start it’s own natural production again, while limiting endocrine system stress, this is why we need post cycle therapy. It’s not just as simple as that however, when coming off of a compound your body goes through a very stressful phase as your hormones are out of balance, failure to mitigate these imbalances can result in a unique set of side effects not related to the Dymethazine compound. Below is just a *few* of the noted side effects of an improper post cycle therapy regiment, it should also be noted that the occurrence of side effects in the post cycle stage is more common than the “on-cycle” phase, however a properly planned post cycle therapy regiment can mitigate these risks.

• Gynecomastia / Gyno (or Man Boobs)
• Anxiety/Depression (Can range mild to severe)
• Body Aches/Pains (Can range mild to severe)
• Impotence and other sexual function side effects.
• Loss of gains made on cycle.

As you can see, these are side affects we definitely want to avoid at all costs, so let’s start discussing a proper Dymethazine PCT (Post Cycle Therapy).

Post Cycle General: You should begin your PCT regiment immediately after your pro-hormone or designer steroid cycle, it should begin the day after your last dosage of Dymethazine. PCT regiments are typically 4-6 weeks depending on the type of compound being used, user and type of PCT. As noted in the previous section under “Maintaining Health”, you should continue to use Life Support, Cycle Assist or Cycle Support throughout your entire cycle, INCLUDING your PCT regiment.

• Boost Natural Testosterone Production.
• Regulate Estrogen.
• Restore HPTA function.
• Reducing SHBG.
• Control Cortisol Effects.

Over The Counter: An OTC (Over The Counter) post cycle therapy regiment is NOT an acceptable PCT for Dymethazine, for Dymethazine cycles a Research Drug is REQUIRED. Some users will argue that in some cases an OTC PCT will suffice for Dymethazine, but it’s not worth the risk, go with a SERM (prescription grade) PCT and feel confident.

Research Drugs: The MOST effective PCT regiment is one that includes a prescription/research drug, however some users prefer not to go this route, you may be asking why would someone go another route if this is the most proven and effective PCT method. There’s various reasons but one to point out is that these drugs aren’t technically available without a prescription, these are also very powerful drugs that can also have their own side effects, notice that I say they aren’t “technically” available that’s because they can be purchased online at research drug sites, we can’t provide you with any links, if you chose to go this route googling for these sites will won’t take you long.

1. Nolvadex (Tamoxifen Citrate). Comes in Liquid or Pill form.

2. Optional (But highly-recommended): Competitive Edge Labs – P.C.T Assist

Below is an example PCT when using a research drug (such as Nolvadex aka Tamoxifen Citrate, as we are in this case).

Week1-2 Nolvadex 20mg & P.C.T Assist (5 caps) | Week 3-4 Nolvadex 10mg & P.C.T Assist (5 caps) | Week 5 P.C.T Assist (4 caps)

Example Cycle

This is an example cycle from start to finish to give you an idea how it should look, assumes you’re using Nolvadex. From start to finish our properly designed cycle will take approximately 11 weeks total.  Don’t forget to include LiverCare.52 and Grape Seed Anti Oxidant if you chose the follow that recommendation.

• Week 1-2: Pre-load Cycle Support, Cycle Assist or Life Support @ Bottle Recommended dosages.
• Week 3: Cycle/Life Support | Dymethazine/dZine 15mg
• Week 4-6: Cycle/Life Support | Dymethazine/dZine 30mg
• Week 7-8: Cycle/Life Support | Nolvadex 20mg | PCT Assist (5 Caps).
• Week 9-10: Cycle/Life Support | Nolvadex 10mg | PCT Assist (5 Caps).
• Week 11:  PCT Assist (4 Caps).

Supplements

It’s recommended that users supplement with a quality Multi-Vitamin and Fish Oil throughout the ENTIRE cycle, keep something on hand for your joints in the event you experience some discomfort Universal Animal Flex works wonders. You should stop taking any other supplements on Cycle as well such as Creatine, NO, Test Boosters and so on, these should be saved for PCT in order to preserve strength. It’s heavily recommended that during PCT, you add Creatine and a Cell Volumizer type of product. Supplementing with Protein is highly recommended on cycle

Interactions

Users who are on anti-depressant or anti-anxiety medication may experienced increased anxiety/depression while on cycle and during PCT. It is HEAVILY advised not to drink alcoholic drinks while on Cycle & PCT, doing so will put significant strain on the liver and can result in a major health hazard. Users should avoid using stimulants on cycle as blood pressure may elevate too high and possibly cause fainting. In general, avoid starting any new medications while on cycle or just before, if you’re concerned about a possible interaction consult your doctor. Users should also eat a clean diet on cycle.
