The side effects depend highly on the type that you are taking. Google the name and read the literature that comes up. You will naturally drop the weight but it will be slower then when you gained it.

I have taken steriods for health reasons and Im not completely off of them, but the dose was lowered and yes you do loose the weight. You get hungry when your on steriods, so when your completey off you won't be as hungry as you use to be. you'll use weight especially if you exercise.

Let me clear up some things about steroids here (or juice, sauce, gear, Arnolds, gym candy- whatever you wanna call them) Forget about what everyone is going to tell you about the mood swings and the side effects and listen up because Iam going to be real straight with you about the gear. Steroids were originally developed to treat men with low testosterone outputs. All you hear is how evil they are and how people die from them and what's really funny is that people actually want to legalize marijuana but steroids are of course so evil- YEA RIGHT, but did you know that if you took either 100 Vitamin C pills, 100 aspirin or 100 steroid tablets..the only thing that would not kill you is the steroids? I've never used them, I know plenty who have and Iam well aware of their dangers and their side effects and you can get seriously fucked up if you are careless with them and Iam not talking about people who use Albuterol inhalers for their asthma or whatever and they were prescribed some steroid- thats not what we're dealing with here- we're talking about Dianabol, Deca Durabolin, Winstrol, Equipoise, etc. in big dosages. On the other hand- they aren't the evil that TV makes them out to be when taken with care and in a reasonable dose. This however is tough to come by because doctors are not willing or able to prescribe them to you or monitor you while on them since they are now illegal. They are not reserved for people who just lift weights...they are reserved for professional bodybuilders and at that you have more of a chance playing in the World Series than becoming one of those guys. Steroids start to hurt you when you take them incorrectly like those assholes on that MTV True Life show which gave so much bad information that I don't even want to get into it- just don't ever take anything you see on MTV with the word "True" in the title too seriously.
Steroids aren't the equivalent of Miracle Gro for your muscles...in order to gain anything while you're on a cycle you need to bust your ass harder than anybody in that gym and make sure you're eating the 400 grams of protein a day and sleeping for 11 hours a night. Do they work when the proper effort is taken to enhance their benefits? Absolutely no question.
Now when you stop taking the juice it is because you need to regenerate your body (liver mainly) to its normal function since it was on overload during your cycle...if you maintain the same amount of calories and the same intensity in your workouts then you will keep most of the muscle you put on during your cycle...but if you don't then you will lose most of it. It is very hard to keep the muscle mass because there is a big psychological boundary that comes after you stop steroids where you lose that sense of invincibility. UNLIKE what that idiot on MTV thinks- steroids are not physically addicting at all, but they are very mentally addicting.
I don't know if you're considering taking them, that's not my business or my decision- all I can say is that if you aren't an experienced bodybuilder looking to go into competition then definitely don't without even thinking twice. If you do decide to take them- know that different people respond to different steroids in different ways and that there are plenty of counterfeit steroids out there. Also know the legal risks involved because they are pretty severe. I really would encourage you to stay away from them, but that's not my choice. The weight is on your back and you should know where the rack is.

When your taking steriods the weight turns to muscle so when you stop taking them, after a while its bascally just turns to fat if you dont work out. Also I know you didnt ask this but I'm going to say it anyway incase you or someone you know is considering taking them...
