prednisone ..

[The Mighty Fez]

i know this is kind of out there. but has anyone ever used prednisone, and for what. im not in any way suggesting cycling, but i had asthma several years ago and they gave it to me and i broke out all over the place and put on about 10 pounds or so over the duration of the prescription and ate like a horse.


just curious if anyone has ever tried to use it for the hell of it.

Its NOT an anabolic steroid therefore its not something anyone here would be interested in taking...

Bump. This stuff wont build any muscle. Been on and off for several years. All I got out of it is this terrible taste and some facial bloat. It is also very powerful, in which case you must ween off of it.

i never said it was. i was only interested to know if ppl had taken it and for what. like i said, i had asthma. re-read my post. im not trying to illicit any other responses than what i originally asked in my post. no, its not anabolic, but yes, it is a steroid.


chill, yo

My Doctor Prescribed it for me when I had a chest infection
As far as I know it is a corticosteroid ( not what I want to be taking!!!)

Fortunately I was only on it for about a week or 2

VERY, VERY, VERY, VERY, VERY BAD idea.
A shit load of long term complications.
I had to take it long time ago for bad allergies. It redistributes fat from your arms and legs to your stomach. My arms and legs have no fat at all, I have a third chin, and inspite of being skinny, have love handles.
You only gained water weight.
It's actually catabolic. It decreases your muscle mass and thins out your bones.

Nope. It's a cortico-steroid (i.e., anti-inflammatory). And, if I'm not mistaken, if taken for a long enough period of time, it's actually catabolic (i.e., muscle-wasting) rather than anabolic.

Do not use prednisone any way not prescribed by a MD.
