Can I take this oral steroid at the beginning of my test cycle?

[Buddy_Christ]

I'm not plat so searching to see if this has been asked before wouldn't do me any good. Sorry if it's already been discussed.

The doctor gave my girlfriend an oral steroid called Prednisone for a knee problem. She was about to start taking it but went to see a specialist today and they did a cortisone shot in her knee and told her not to take the prednisone, so she gave it to me and said that I should put it to good use. She doesn't have a problem with me running a cycle provided my temperment doesn't go into the shitter. Gotta love her for being supportive.

Well, I'm going to start a test only cycle (my first) real soon and I'm wondering if I should take this as a jump start into my test cycle. I lurk around different AAS forums and I know sometimes people will kick start their cycles with oral steroids, so this should work to do that for me, right? I mean, it's a steroid, I've only got a few days of it, and it seems to me like it'd help me jump start into a cycle.

Plus it's doctor perscribed so I know exactly what I'm taking and how much. I have five 50mg tablets. The bottle says to take one a day.

Opinions?

You would be better off taking Dbol.


Prednisone, a corticosteroid, is similar to a natural hormone produced by your adrenal glands. It often is used to replace this chemical when your body does not make enough of it. It relieves inflammation (swelling, heat, redness, and pain) and is used to treat certain forms of arthritis; skin, blood, kidney, eye, thyroid, and intestinal disorders (e.g., colitis); severe allergies; and asthma. Prednisone also is used with other drugs to prevent rejection of transplanted organs and to treat certain types of cancer.

I only have 5 pills at 50mg each.

A few years ago, the doctor gave me a Medrol pack to help with a back problem I was having. That was 5 or 6 days of being super energetic. It was kind of cool actually.

Yeah, but that'd mean placing another order. I already have my test cycle + PCT.

Dave Palumbo's column in MD talked about Predisnone (sp) recently. He said it's a catabolic steroid, so i really see no benefit to its use. 5 days of ANY steroid is unlikely to do much for you anyway

there is a reason they are called ANABOLIC steroids, and not just steroids

not all steroids are anabolic, hell some allergy medicines have steroids in them, doesnt mean ur running a cycle

this is the definition of the term steroid

Any of numerous naturally occurring or synthetic fat-soluble organic compounds having as a basis 17 carbon atoms arranged in four rings and including the sterols and bile acids, adrenal and sex hormones, certain natural drugs such as digitalis compounds, and the precursors of certain vitamins.

perhaps you need to do more research b4 you cycle b/c the purpose of an oral to kickstart is not simply because it is oral but rather so you see gains before the slower acting, injected, compounds take effect

I sometimes have to take prednisone for a stomach problem and would never take it unless i have to for that reason. All it will do is bloat you up and i beleive it is catabolic also. Don't waste your time.

DO NOT take the Prednisone or any other Corticosteroid for trying to build muscle, it will have the opposite effect as to what you want. As said above, it is a catabolic steroid as is all other corticosteroids. You want an anabolic steroid.
