Had Accident And Lost Weight. Can I Take Light Steroid To Recover The Muscles?
Question: Hi.
My name is XXXXX and I am from Portugal.
Recently I had an accident and have been off the gym for 3 months.
I lost a lot of weight and I am thinking take a weak steroid to recover some muscular mass because I lost almost everything, it is a prohormone methilated, when methylated it becomes steroid.
The name is Epistane and composition is (2a,3a-epithio-17a-methyletioallocholanol).
I need your opinion because I already take medication for panic disorder and would like to know if this compounds interact with my medication (Xanax, Socian, Cipralex).
Thanks a lot for your time and keep the good work.
Best Regards,
XXXXX
