Do steroids cause permanent gains in the User, even after discontinuation?

Thanks for the answers.

Now to further expand on this.... Do cycles have long lasting effects on the body OUTSIDE of Muscle and Fat?

Meaning if a compound(s) of a cycle affected 1 or more of the following:

• Change in Lipids
• Change in RBC count
• Change in Thyroid levels
• etc...

Would the body's baseline change post cycle...even if it was minimal (and again, assuming perfect conditioning and diet)?

Andro Drives neuro effects were supposedly semi-permanent.

CBC (incl RBC) count respond to overall situation in body- incl hormones so after cycle it should return to "normal", lipids should return to normal as well, eventually. Thyroid also should return to "normal" within few weeks. Liver values should also return to normal. Prostate could be managed during cycle, gyno should be prevented in first place but also can be managed afterwoods.

Things that dont return to normal (if they happen, and sometimes changes are rather small):
-Heart remodeling (heart enlargement, also loss of flexibility of left ventricle)
-Kidney damage, sometimes proteinuria happens or some calcification

There are other stuff that I cannot remeber at the moment...

As for androdrive- it had pregnenolone and DHEA as ingredient, which do have an effect on neurotransmitters (espec pregnenolone) but I would not call them semi-permanent, people who need to add preg. usaly need to use it continuously.
Tough effect stay for a while, for example they done some studies on nandrolone and effects are there 6X longer than cycle.
