Dr. L, if you have a minute, I have a question -
You told us about how you give your patients mesterolone at lower doses than what a bodybuilder might use but for quite an extended period of time (years at a time?) This is, from what I gather, for safety reasons and because it is easier on the system.
My question is then, would this pattern follow with other steroids?
For example, we know what most BB'ers use in terms of methandrostenolone, usually get up to at least 30 mg/day, some to 50 mg/day, and some go rediculously high...
But this is usually for 6-8 weeks or so. Now, if one were to use a "therapeutic dose" and NOT go above that, (say 5-15 mg/day??), would this be more "kind" to the system if taken for a couple of months? I would expect the gains wouldn't be as phenomenal, but would the individual's hormonal system be less disturbed with lower dosages for a longer period of time??
Thanks for any help.
