Description:
Tablets, injections, capsule.
Effects:
Users take the drug as an aid to muscle development, though there is a strong chance that users will become more aggressive.
Withdrawal:
Some steroid users have reported lethargy and depression on stopping use.
Tolerance:
It is difficult to offer conclusive evidence regarding the effects of the long-term use of steroids as most users are taking multiple combinations and at doses that are well above the recommended level. There is some clear evidence that persistent and heavy use may cause infertility or lack of sex drive in men. Conversely some men may become sexually violent. Women may develop masculine side-effects such as deeper voice and smaller breasts.
Law:
Anabolic steroids are Class C drugs to be sold only by pharmacists with a doctor's prescription. It's legal to possess or import steroids as long as they're for personal use. But possession or importing with intent to supply (which includes giving them to friends) is illegal and could lead to 14 years in prison and an unlimited fine.
