It's a known side effect if the substance reaches the systemic circulation, however dose, time and application method modifies this greatly. Any physician prescribes drugs and application method with the least possible adverse effects with optimal therapeutic effect. If Cortisol was prescribed for systemic use, logically there would be a good medical indication for this. Listen to your physician.
Good thing it wasn't in eye drop form.The side effects depends on dose and place of application.
@What you drip in your eyes does not traverse to the systemic circulation in substantial quantity. This is why it was prescribed for the local application - to avoid the systemic distribution if possible. Also Cortisol is not an androgen steroid - your rage would stem from something else, not the eye drops, silly
No I don't know everything. However, I do know cortisol is not an androgen, nor does it have androgen like effects. Rage would not come from raising ones systemic cortisol levels. Granted, I assumed you were given local application for your eye. Your description was vague, however - 'I was given it for my eye'. Would you like to clarify as to the indication, drug and application method your were prescribed? It'll be my pleasure to once again tell you why your rage does not stem from cortisol.
You'd have to be much more specific. Steroids are a group of hormones, named for their four joined cycloalkane rings. There are many forms of steroid hormones. The biochemical nature of any hormone dictates its function. Some hormones do in fact affect the psyche - some sex hormones for instance - like testosterone or DHT.
While I'd agree that "roid rage" is probably an overblown myth, I haven't seen any study that addresses "roid rage" in anabolic/androgenic steroids and I don't think there are any.
And yet, many of us have friends whose personalities totally change while on cycle, and then come back to normal when the cycle is over. Study or not, how many guys have you known that are usually mellow until they get on cycle, and then they become the biggest dicks? A few weeks after the cycle is over, they are back to being a pussycat.
If you're prescribed prednisone there must be a good indication for doing so - otherwise the physician would not prescribe it. A week is not something I'd worry about the slightest, not even at high doses. Adverse events including their severity and frequency depends on the dose and duration of treatment in particular. Adverse event frequencies are generally seen during long-term treatment with therapeutic doses. Serious systemic side effects are unusual in short-term treatment - even in relatively high doses. Ask your physician if you have doubts
I don't think it will really, but a lot of that depends on the progress made - going in to this I was thinking something similar (I "might" just nip out for a drink after work SOME Fridays) - but I haven't yet. Biggest reason isn't my willpower, its the results I'm seeing that is giving me the extra motivation I think. I can definitely see getting stir crazy soon though...
I have definitely heard of Poliquin before but I have no idea what his certification entails so who knows. Did this guy suggest cutting all carbs? That would surprise me.
