I lose muscle because of my physical disability. Appearance-wise, I look fine because of increased muscle tone, which is a symptom of my condition.

Donât know. I started taking meds when I was 15. Canât say what effect that had on puberty. And physical growth.
People say there is no evidence that APs have any effect on physical growth. I do feel meds had adverse effect. Personally I am just as tall now as I was at 15. Not much change in muscle mass either. I was slim then. And now after lowering meds getting back to that shape. Had gained weight on various meds. Not much change in muscle mass I think.
Gaining muscle is not easy. Hard for people taking APs. Meds affect metabolism/hormones. Some affect how much physical activity your body can deal with.

Thatâs right. You need good nutrition and muscles need work. Use it or lose it. Why would body carry around unnecessary weight when it already deals with excess fat.
