Good post.
Experience has taught me that my results are not dose related. As such I don't use high doses of any compound. When my results start to dimish I don't increase my doses either, because this provides only a very brief and limited improvement. Instead, I add a new compound or change compounds altogether.
I have not suffered to any great extent from the publicised side-effects of any of the steroids I have used.
I assume this is much the same message your post was trying to convey.
