More info needed: Why do you want steroids? What kind of steroids? Anabolic steroids or performance enhancing steroids are not recommended medically. If you have asthma or some other inflammatory condition that would benefit from a a prescribed regimen of steroids, than that would be decided by your treating dr. Best wishes.

None of them: Why do you want to start steroids? This is a serious medication with serious risks, and should only be prescribed for medical reasons. I'm assuming you want them for a non-medical cause, or your doctor would suggest which medication to take. For your safety, i suggest staying far away from illicit steroids. Side effects: erectile dysfunction, infertility, adrenal failure, death, psychiatric.
