Yes I remember the hyper part - and of course a HUGE appetite. I gained a lot of weight on them but at the time I needed the weight - I was down to 100 lbs when at my sickest - I am 5'2". Then on steriods I gained about 45 lbs - I called them my fat pills. I was young - about 17 so weight was a bigger issue then. Now I still have fat pills but they are called Elavil. It helps with vulvodynia pain alot - apparently I have nerve damage from multiple - well almost daily - yeast infections. They caused me to tense up my muscles down there and caused the nerves to be damaged - at least that's what they (those wonderful doctor people) say. But the Elavil causes you to crave sweets - that's very helpful to a candida filled person - and cause a lot of hunger. Me - well just from Jersey oh and before that Philadelphia. Nothing exciting.
