How long should steroids be taken for before coming off them?

Steroids should not be taken at all. So, if you are considering taking them, then I suggest you look up all of the effects that come a long with them. They're not safe, and not legal. ANSWER-steroids are not a fast acting stimulant. They do not give you a buzz or speed you up preceding a workout. You take them, and you work out. They can be reasonably safe if you are knowledgeable about them and use them responsibly.
