I know this is a very old thread, put I was searching under cortisone(trying to kept as much as I can after my first cycle), anyway after reading what mr. nobody wrote about nicotine I have a question. I have been dipping for the past 4yrs, and I am ready to quit, I am wondering if I should stop at the begining of my cycle or wait till the end to take advantage of the surge in cortisone since my levels will be rising after I stop the riods. Anybody have a view of this? Thanks
