Var making me feel like crap... help please...

[koi]

Guys,

I'm now on week 10 of a 13 week 500mg/week test.e cycle.

I introduced anavar 2 weeks ago at 90mg/day with the intention of running it until post cycle therapy (pct) at week 15.

However, my sleep is really suffering from it. It takes me hours to fall asleep, even thought I'm tired and when I wake up I feel exhausted. Up until now I have slept very well on this cycle, with no problems.

I space my anavar out in 3 doses per day 30mg @ 7am, 30mg @ 3pm and 30mg @ 10pm (before bed)

What should I do? Should I drop the anavar from my cycle? Or play around with the dosage and dosage times? i.e. Should I drop the dosage down to 60mg and just hit it all in the morning? Or skip the dose before bed?

Any advice is appreciated. I really want to finish up the anavar whilst I'm on cycle (I don't plan to cycle again) but I don't want it to mess up my training and my daily work performance. Today I feel like I can't function from lack of sleep.

Thanks again,
Koi.

Why are you running 90mg? Check your BP

 

[koi]

No problem. I'll go and get it checked today. 90mg sounded like a decent dosage...

Im running 50mg with no test and feel great, I had head aches and trouble sleeping the first 3 days... I take 20 mg @ 6am 20 mgs @ 1:30am and 10 mgs at 9:30pm. I recently switched my schedule because of this post and it seems to work good. I am on day 24, 11 days left Ill bump up the does to 80 the last week.


Hope your bp is good bro!

what;s wrong with doing 90mg's a day? i did it at 80mg's. depends the kind of results you want. i wouldn't take it any longer then 6 weeks tho.

but the answer is to just suck it up.

i took 80mg ed for 8 weeks no sides.. i split my doses into 40/40. rule of thumb when splitting doses i follow is 8 hours inbetween doses. so wake up early get breakfast take var.. all will be good. if u take 40mg at 3pm u shuld be good by 10pm. thats about when i go to bed. and i never had problems

People react differently to various compounds. I don't care for var either. Or any other oral.

this is why i hate orals. all this split up dosage crap. lol

Koi, get you some Melatonin from the grocery and start on that. Not too much though, it will knock your ass out. Nice thing is its natural and cheap and it really works.

I agree! Drink lots of water!! Take 3-6 mg 15 mins before bed and make sure to go straight to bed and lights out. Don't read or watch tv and that should help!! Oh and a nice cup of a tea with chamomile!! Hope that helps! Let us know!

 

[koi]

Thanks Guys. I'll give melatonin a try tonight.

I'm changing my dosing schedule to 40mg @ 6am and 40mg @ 3pm, leaving out the bed time dose.

I took 10mg of diazepam last night and slept like a baby, however I definitely don't want to start relying on benzo's... they're too addictive. Been there before, got the t-shirt.

I have some chamomile tea here, will sip on that before bed with a dash of honey...

I'm really liking the effects of the anavar, it seems to be stripping fat from around my waist very quickly. I'm starting to see parts of my six-pack now! If I can keep it up for another 5 weeks, I'll be ripped.

Actually, one last question about dosing...

Is there any point splitting up the anavar dose in to 40mg @ 6am and 40mg @ 3pm?

If the half-life on anavar is 8 hours (add 30-60 mins for absorption) and I take all 80mg at 6am, then by 3pm I should still have 40mg in my bloodstream anyway.

Or is my maths incorrect?

that math is right. i never split up dosages but alot of guys do.

 

[koi]

Excellent.

I'll drop 80mg at 6am each morning. By 10pm I should only have around 20mg floating around, hopefully not enough to disturb my sleep.

If my maths is correct on my previous dosing of 30mg x 3 times a day (6am, 3pm, 10pm) I would have had around 50mg floating around at bedtime.

I couldnt sleep when I was taking 60 mgs, but I did love the results. var is the shit if you have the money to spend on the shit

 

[koi]

I'm enjoying the var, especially alongside the test.e - It's stripping fat of my body at an amazing rate, especially around my stomach. My six-pack is even coming through! I've never seen it before...

Valerian root also works well for sleep and a little for anxiety. If the melatonin does not totally do the trick toss some of that in. Standard health food store stuff.

 

[tednatas]

mail me the var

Rj,

I thought you had to have as stable levels as possible all the time even when sleeping, therefore a tab before bed should be optimal no?

Also VAR and CREATINE produces a great synergy when combined.

Did you take any pct for this cycle and was it VAR only or mixed?

i never said i was right, just that i didn't do it.

believe me, I'm an injectable guy. Always have been. Never been a big fan of orals (that always sounds weird when i type it out. lol).
