Hi, Thank you for the query. Using Decdan and Practin for gaining weight is not recommended medically as it causes various problems in different body systems.It can affect sperm production. You can't stop the drug suddenly as it may cause life threatening Adrenal insufficiency. You should taper the dose gradually with the advice of a doctor. Hope, this helps.
