in 7 days my appetite increased & in 15 days i became healthy & my waist size & thies & face increased.
but after taking that Dexamethasone ( 2 small tablets daily for 27 days) for 27 days ,my uncle told me the sideeffect of that drug, so i immidiaty stoped taking that drug.
but 2-3 days after i left that tablets ,ther are small red acne in my back(spine) also some sweet itching also started in my hands, Arm & other parts.
thirdly the amount of sweat(not sweet) also increase thus the body odor aslo increades very high.
my face skin also become very oily.

clindamycin & nicotinamide -gel
is it ok, or i should try somthing else?
one more thign
can Dexamethasone effect my sexual power also??
Answer Hi Paras,
Frst things first, dont ever use dexamethasone for these pruposes. Secondly when you use such drugs (steroids) you cannot stop suddenly, you have to taper the dose and then sto. But now that you have done both, what you have is withdrawal symptoms, wait for a few days they will go away. Dont overmedicate yourself. Just wait patientsly for a few days, the present medicines will help you, dont add anything else.
