A few questions....
How old are you?
Goals with using it?
Any current blood pressure issues (BP)?
Lots of good points here. Anadrol can be fun to run, but it c an be nothing more than a bottle of side effects, depending on the user. I've also seen non-responders. I've seen guys use pills from the same bottles, 1 will blow the hell up like a freak, and the other gets nothing, maybe a pump at most. It's weird like that. Before that, I used to think if you couldn't grow off of Test/Anadrol, then you couldn't grow off anything and needed to walk away, but seeing the non-responders (rare), I have slightly changed that tune.
I would suggest that if you start getting sides, then act immediately, or discontinue it! If you have BP issues, then i'd think twice before using it, at least as a compound for mass and size, unless you are able to adjust medications. Short term will not matter much, but if you have never had high BP, you can feel like shit from it (headaches, etc)....it's not always 'silent.' It's great for powerlifting. I think it also shines when you are very lean and on low calories dieting, as it will feel you out some.
If you have gyno, or if you are at risk of it, I would either think twice before using it, or stop it immediately if issues arise.
At 25mg/d, that is a fairly low dose, but if you respond well to it, it will still work very well. I think in the AIDS study that Tommy posted above, sides were dose-related, at least for liver, IIRC. 50-100mg gave less sides than the 150mg/d dosages.
I'd suggest if bulking, or using it for size and strength, to keep diet healthy or 'clean.' Most people who eat lotsof junk or crap run into issues with BP and water retention.
Run test after you stop using the Anadrol, it can help with any post-'drol size depletion and mindfukk.
***If you start getting way stronger from it, don't make irrational decisions and get injured.
That all being said, see how it effects you, and how the sides effect you, and like Wilson stated, if you are able to get before and after labs and compare them to other drugs, or added test, then it can help with healthier decisions down the road for future use. I'd like to point out that if you are young, it all changes when you get older!!!
Anadrol can be fun here and there, or for certain situations, it's mainly a younger guy's drug, imo. Like Wilson stated, if you are going to be doing this for the long-haul, work slowly up on dosages and get the most of what you can before bumping them up. Use orals the least amount as you can, and only for sticking points, or maybe during a cutting phase, or a comp if you are a powerlifter/strongman. Orals screw up lipids big time. Size, even for AAS users is more efficient over a long period, you can only "up the dose" so many times and stay healthy long-term. Stay on test, injects and minimize orals.
Anyway...getting off topic now and sounding like an old fart talking down in my post, lol.
