Come on guys let's be honest. Most people have a very limited background in steroids, including doctors and healthcare professionals. However, obvioulsy a scare tactic, this nurse wasn't too far off in her opinion. One thing I find very ignorant on these forums and among steroid using bodybuilders is their constant downplaying of the side effects. Every other post on the forums is about getting it up, sex drive, post cycle depression, yadda yadda. To say you can run a little pct and you'll be fine is wishful thinking. Yes pct can help and everyone is different but steroids will shut you down and for many will shut you down hard. Most guys never come off long enough to find out in my opinion. Steroid use is a perpetual cycle for most guys. You do one cycle yes you'll get big and you may even keep most of your gains. But eventually you'll lose most of if not all of those gains. It may take weeks or it may take months. But they will go away. Steroids are only temporary. Most guys, even some in this thread, can't admit that because it's a huge blow to their reality.
I find this whole issue akin to women and their eating disorders. Everyone knows there are problems but none of them like to talk about it. Why do you think viagra is so fucking popular among sources. I know guys that are yo yo steroid users and they can't function without their viagra. No not all guys react to steroids but a lot do. Post cycle depression is also very real. Like one poster said......homeostasis nuff said! Steroids are like everything else in bodybuilding you quit eating you'll shrink, you quit training you'll shrink, you quit taking drugs you'll shrink. This is a lifestyle not a means to an end.
I guess I am just living for the moment? I can except that. Good, honest post.
