Well if it helps iv been off and on steroids for 11 years. If its hard for you to believe thats fine. It will take 3/4 weeks for blood levels to reach a steady base line. But as most orals effects are "almost" immediate. Most oral steroids are fast acting. I have enough experience to notice changes to my body and or strength. But don't take my word for it. Order some and try it your self. Besides you may not respond the same way i do to steroids.I'm having a serious hard time believing you started getting effects that early from such a low dose. I guess you have the magic receptors?
