I've lifted weights for sports on and off but I am hardly a serious body builder or weight lifter. I am familiar with lifting weights but I never got into it like some of the other athletes I was lifting with. Over the last couple years there has been a lot of stress in my life. Because of the stress my stomach muscles don't digest food properly, so naturally I've lost some weight due to this.
Because of the stress I also can't sleep at night, again I do play sports and work out so my body is tired and I should be sleeping but I physically can't because of the stress (sleep meds both OTC and perscription don't touch me) so because I get roughly 8-15 hours of sleep every 5 days my metabolism is in overdrive and this has also caused me to lose a lot of weight. In the last 3 months I dropped from 165ish to 140-145. I never thought about using steroids before because I only lifted for sports and never took it that seriously. I kind of look at it now as using it medicinally, I physically can't take measures to gain weight natrurally and even though I continue eating as healthy as I can with my crappy stomach musles and I lift as much as I can with lack of sleep my clothes are starting to sag and I'm losing way too much weight it's just ridiculous.
I was wondering if using a steroid in this cenario would be a good idea, again I lift but I'm not a body builder, I just want to put on some weight and get to where I once was before. I only am trying to get a little boost, and hopefully once I start eating better etc. I will be able to sleep and eat naturally. I've seen dumbasses around my way dose up on steroids for a couple months, put on a lot of weight then stop using and drop 10 pounds, I was wondering if there is anything I should look at if I'm only looking to put on 15-20 pounds, not as fast as possible but put on and keep the weight.
Thanks, and I don't mean to waste peoples time, I have read up but I wasn't sure if temporary use in this cenario is realistic.
