Anavar and Insomnia - help from women pls!

[Fitfox]

Hi Everyone,

I currently take 10mg of Anavar (var) and only Anavar (var) per day. I've only been taking it in the mornings and it still keeps me up all night.


Have any of you experienced this? Should I lower my dosage? Or split the dosage in to two? Or any other suggestions that might help me to sleep at night?

Thank you!

Welcome Fitfox !

I love your user name BTW

Var could give you insomnia,
Are u taking any other supplemnts that might have stimulants ? or drinking coffee ?

 

[Fitfox]

Hi Mrs P!

No other supplements but yes, I do usually have 1-2 large coffees everyday.

The coffee doesnt seem to bother me when I'm off the var. I try don't drink it after 3pm. Do you think my not sleeping has something to do with the coffee & Anavar (var) together?

I don't think the coffee is what's giving you the insomnia,
insomnia is one of the possible sides of var,

You can try some natural remedies, like Melatonin, this is typically taken about 30 minutes before the desired bedtime.

Kava, is an anti-anxiety herb that helps you relax.

Chamomile tea is very good as well.

You can try an OTC sleep aid, I wouldn't suggest you take this for an extended period of time.

Or try reducing the dose to 5 mgs..

Remember sleep is very important for physical & mental health.

If this persists than I think you have to re consider continuing Anavar (var),
I personally cannot function if I don't get a good night sleep.

Best of luck 2 u !

wow, had no idea it was an actual side but I am taking the same for 6 weeks now and have had the same problem...not complete insomnia but definitely restless sleep and had a feeling this was why. Can't wait to get a good night sleep again!

Hi Jenner,

Same is happening to me I have very restless sleep. I never even thought is was due to Anavar (var), I thought it was stress from work+ school.
I have been drinking organic sweet dreams tea, and seems to be helping.

Restless sleep is a nightmare for sure,
I've never tried Sweet dreams tea, I've heard of it though, I like chamomile tea with some honey..
I love to sleep, I think sleep is one of life's best simple pleasures !!!
but I'm kind of a night owl & have to be up by 6.00am to get the kids off to school, so I usually get 6-7 hours..
I would love to take 2 days & just sleep straight through ..if I only could !

Where do u get the sweet dreams tea & what are the ingredients ?

 

[jackedandtanned]

oh jeez i just took my 2nd 50mg Anavar (var) (just up the dose tonight to 100mg ed) and now i read this...lol

 

[Rollergirl]

I have insomnia already without this...I'm in trouble

I get the tea at this store beside my apartment, called David's Tea (in Toronto). I can tell you what it has inside since they have the ingredients on the box. I know it contains cammomile for sure!
Also it is a loose leaf tea, it is not in bags.

Actually what I found even better is from ALGONQUIN TEA brand, and it is also for sleeping. I used to have it and found it in this small store (organic foods, vegan) in a different city and could not find it where I live now.

Your best bet is any specialty tea store or an organic food store.

If you take Anavar (var) with any other fat burning agent, even over the counter stuff, it may cause insomnia., There are 4 chemicals in the brain which control your circadian clock, mood, alterness and overall functioning. Ana Anavar (var) has actually been shown to make some people tired when taken alone, and others feel an elevated mood and energy. If you start feeling anxious though and tense, especially at night, cycle off it. Try Winn (beware injuries) or peptides 177-191 is great. For the fat burn: oral clen or even less side effects is Albuterol.
