    TAKE ON STERIODS : Symptoms of addiction

    Advert.
    When the use of any drug or substance, including steroids,
    fits this description, the drug user has an addiction
    problem.(1) The characteristics of steroid addiction have
    been described as follows2)

    1) Hormone is used over longer periods than desired.
    2) Attempts are made to stop without success.
    3) Substantial time is spent obtaining, using, or recovering
    from the hormones.
    4) Use continues despite knowledge of significant
    psychological problems caused by the hormones.
    5) Characteristic withdrawal symptoms occur.
    6) Hormone use is resumed to relieve these withdrawal
    symptoms.

    People who are dependent on anabolic steroids frequently began
    to use them before age 16.(3) They take more cycles of
    steroids for longer periods of time, and take many different types
    of steroids at once.(3,4) They feel that their peers
    use anabolics, and perceive themselves as having less strength or
    smaller body size than their peers.(3,4) By contrast,
    there are no reports of anabolic steroid dependence caused by
    legitimate medical use.(3) In a psychological study of
    eight weightlifters, all eight had at least two symptoms of drug
    dependence on steroids. Six of them met the American Psychiatric
    Association's DSM-III-R definition of addiction.(5)
