Anavar use = decreased sex drive, sleep and unsocial

[surf256]

I took a while off from the gym and gear to let my joints and tendons have a break and also to give my body a rest from the sauce.

I hopped back on and am running 200mgs of test cyp and feel great, energy up, strength up, sex drive Waaaay up. Ran the test for a month and then threw in 75mgs of var about a week ago (75mg ed split in 2 doses).

Shortly after the I tossed in the var I have noticed the following....

1) sex drive went down
2) My junk has shriveled up
3) my sleep is not as good as it used to be
4) I am not as outgoing/social as I normally am

I have ran this cycle before in the past and had the same sides and pushed through them because the results were great. But instead of dealing with the sides this time I wanted to ask if there were any suggestions on how to counteract these sides?

I know that some say var can suppress your system and others disagree. If it does it seems like I would want to add some arimidex, up my test, or up test and add adex. Just thinking out loud.

Let me know what you would add or change to counteract these.

Of course var is suppressive. Every steroid is.

Sides vary immensely between individuals.

In my case, the liver stress itself causes some unwanted sides and moodiness.

Bumping this for more advice

how do you know its VAR...???

 

[surf256]

It's the same stuff I had before and works well. It's actually one of the top choices out of the VAR wars that they did a year year-and-a-half ago

how do you know its THE VAR...???

Even though Anavar is very mild in this regard, some suppression will still exist and the extent will largely be dose dependent. Maybe should decrease your dosage of Anavar, keep 50 mg/ed is better.

No, it's not.

As soon as your body detects extra androgens circulating it will shut down your axis.

Those who say "it's only 20mg of dbol a day, it won't shut your test down" are just full of shit.

I lowered the dose to 50 a couple days ago. Sides are still there but not as bad. My sex drive is good but my mood and focus are still down

Thinking of trying a liver cleanse to see if that does anything. I'm not sure it will but I guess it's worth giving it a shot. Any other advice

there is no such thing as "some suppression"...

its shuts down or it doesn't.

var shuts me down at 25mg. maybe you have real var maybe not.
Add some test and you'll be happy again

Ive never had much if any sides with ANAVAR even at 60-80mg per day.
I do always (typically) run some TEST as my base though,, I think it makes me feel better and gain better.

100 percent., either you are shut down or you are not..

I tell ya one thing I agree with Tenny. How do you know it's the Var? Do you know if both things your on are actually real? I have used real pharma Anavar before and you should never ever need more than 50mg. If so, your shit is bunk OR it's something else. Anavar is one of the only orals I actually feel good on. 7-8 times out of 10 Var is not Var....

Even 50 mgs is something only experienced users should take. If most people ran bloodwork with anavar, and saw the kind of shit it does to your HDL, and hematocrit, they'd back off the 100+ mg doses that they run thinking it will yield better results.

Even though Anavar is considered "mild" in the bodybuilding world, it's still an amazing oral for breaking strength plateaus, and even as an accessory for hardness (given you're conditioned) and size.
