Research indicates the corticosteroid drugs Prednesone or Dexamethasone quickly shut down the adrenal glands and cause a muscle wasting condition called Cushings. Did your MD warn you about the serious side effects of catabolic steroids?

    No not warned. But my husband

    No not warned. But my husband takes Dexamethasome and becomes a mean paranoid person from it.  They told us that it sometimes causes irritability.  If they had told us the truth I could have prepared for all the craziness.
