Low dose Anavar?

[lucky]

Anyone out there who is prescribed Anavar (10 mg.) as part of their HRT regimen. I know it is expensive but the side effects are minimal at low doses.

 

[RAHHH]

its over priced and not much you will get out of it.
seriuosly even at 40-50mg ed for 9 weeks i didnt get much out of it (that was with 250mg teste ew)
use tbol or just up the test by 50-100mg ew you would get more otu of it in my OP

If a place is offering anavar then they should be reported for distrubution of steroids. Spectrum HRT is notorious for this in their antiaging programs.

Anavar is not an endogenous hormone therefor not an HRT protocol.

Physicians using oxandrolone in the case of leanness, using it for years on patients without any side effect. Also, doctors do not make any type of PCT. The link I posted is just one example of how doctors are prolonging therapy for years at very low doses, like 5 or 10 mg. In addition, oxandrolone compared with other steroids, is harmful to the liver, but its chemical composition makes it very different from everyone else, is why it is called the most gentle.

Read the link I posted, then answer me how that guy using a low level of oxandrolne has managed to gain weight in so little time.

"wanted to try oxandrin w/weight training to gain weight"

"My biggest challenged has been get'n my calorie/protein intake in daily. Its a full time job to eat that much food LOL"

Weight training and increased calories is your answer! That much anavar is in no way responsible.

No, you used the oxandrolone has gained some weight because he was very skinny. But then he says he does not want to continue to take it because they do not want to depend on drugs. The oxandrolone works on people who are underweight, and doctors prescribe it because there are dozens and dozens of research to prove it.

"In Dec 03, after alllllll the test that prior year, I weighed 156 (i'm 6') and wanted to try oxandrin w/weight training to gain weight and help out w/my fatigue (which was my only/major complaint) December 5th I started on only 10mgs of oxandrin, dropped to 7.5 last month and now that I weigh a wop'n 195lbs (yipeeee) I droped it to 2.5mgs, which my doc said was okay to continue that for a while to maintain and since its been such a benifit to me."

It has been used in Aids patients for muscle wasting disorder. It has no place or justification in HRT.

What do you mean no? Yes he took oxandrolone to gain weight but it was not the oxandrolone that caused him to gain the weight - it was surplus calories and weight training.

Hewwo ... I'll try to be short and sweet even though I'm quite tall & bitter, hehe. I'm 39 (and 1/2 been poz since 85, all counts are great, besides just a little low red blood cell count recently due to meds i'm not thats being monitored closely. I have been blessed w/great health care. In Dec 03, after alllllll the test that prior year, I weighed 156 (i'm 6') and wanted to try oxandrin w/weight training to gain weight and help out w/my fatigue (which was my only/major complaint) December 5th I started on only 10mgs of oxandrin, dropped to 7.5 last month and now that I weigh a wop'n 195lbs (yipeeee) I droped it to 2.5mgs, which my doc said was okay to continue that for a while to maintain and since its been such a benifit to me. My goal is to reach 210lbs, which is what I weighed about 10 years ago when I was really into building mass w/resistance training. Its been my "miracle drug" so to speak. Mainly my fatigue is gone, mood is great, and energy through the roof,plus I sleep very well. I have seen all sorts of specialist, do not, nor have had depression or any addictions, so doc has allowed me to try oxandrin and continue it for a while. Liver profiles and all test are normal. My goal is to only remain on it for about another month then drop it totally and see where it goes. Since 10mg then drop'n to 2.5mg isnt that much really I hadnt seen any bad side effects what so ever. Heres the weird part lol, since drop'n it to 2.5mgs, I now am noticing an increase in my "testosterone." My libido has increased and am experienceing acne. Why would I experience that after dropping the dosage? LOL Is it due to my weight training which naturally produces testosterone possibly? Could oxandrin somehow "jump started" something in me? My testosterone, glands, all those test my doc has ran in the past have been normal for my age, and still remain normal, just seems that recently when I dropped to only 2.5mgs that I'm experiencing what I thought I would experience on the 10mgs. Also, once I go off, if my fatigue returns, would it be wise to continue only 2.5mgs daily for an extended period of time? maybe w/small intervil breaks? That is not my goal, the less drugs I take the better, far as I am concerned. Thanks for all the information thoughtout this site. I have benifted by this site greatly. I'm always print'n something out taking it to my doctor LOL. I'm very thankfull for the great relationship I have w/all my specialist and my health care. Okay, not that short, ooops. My biggest challenged has been get'n my calorie/protein intake in daily. Its a full time job to eat that much food LOL. Thanks bunches! Rick

Yes he did gain weight. He did not gain weight because of oxandrolone. You are mistaken.

Your question about whether it makes sense that the things associated with testosterone (libido, for instance) coming back when you drop the dose of oxandrolone does make sense. Oxandrolone is not a testosterone replacement therapy and what it has done for you is exactly what we aim for when we recommend it: appetite, weight gain, strength gain, energy gain, and such. However, it may cause your own testosterone production to drop. Your dose has always been moderate at half or less of the typically recommended dose. So what you are experiencing may simply be the contrast of your testosterone production kicking back in a bit after dropping your dose of oxandrolone and reducing the "I already have a testosterone-analogue in my system" feedback to your system to allow your body to pick up its own production of testosterone.

As you drop the dose to zero, you will need to keep your exercise and eating efforts up. Keep and eye on it so that you can catch any problems early. Meanwhile, keep up the good attitude and LOL!

An icreased appetite will result in increased weight, increased strength, increased energy, as well as an increased sense of well being.

 

[Evil]

Yeah yeah you're right, you're absolutely right. But you can not deny that oxandrolone does not help to gain weight, because it stimulates the appetite and protein synthesis. But weight gain in general is given by the increase in calories. But in people who have a fast metabolism and are underweight the oxandrolone helps, and a lot too.

I'm on 50mg of var right now. BY far my favorite compound. You won't get huge off of it but you will get defined, Hard, and vascular and if you have good var the results stay with you for months. I took 3 months off from working out in September. I was just eating normal and drinking my ensure protein shakes and my body looked as if i was still on something and working out. I had been on nothing for a month (clomid was taken the first month i got off) and it was just crazy how easily you keep your gains off of this after 2 months of not lifting.

I know someone is going to read this wrong and think i was on var and not working out. for the record i was on var for 6 weeks, got off, then l stopped lifting but was taking clomid 50,50,25,25 for the first month and the second month i was on nothing) still looked like i was lifting and dieting everyday. My reason for not lifting was in 5 years i never took more then 2 weeks off. My body is where i want it to be and needed a long break. Not lifting crazy right now either but hitting every body part once a week and tweaking my diet a bit. Muscle memory is fantastic!!!!!

1. He's an AIDS patient. What applies to him will not apply to a healthy male.
2. He is regaining weight that he had prior to the muscle wasting. (muscle memory) It's easier to regain what the body already has had than it is to add new tissue.

 

[Evil]

No, if anything is easier than to work on people who are underweight compared to those with a normal body weight. Not only used for those suffering from AIDS but also on those who fail to gain weight. Naturally, the doses are different than a bodybuilder this is clear.

You continue to associate this one poster blog to a valid medically approved and or endorsed means for underweight individuals to gain weight.

He gained weight because he was undernourished. Whether it was AIDS or not he was under-consuming calories that attributed to his weight loss. AIDS and HIV don't always mean you become under weight. A loss of appetite that leads to undernourishment will lead to weight loss. There are many other means to address appetite supression besides the use of anbolic hormones.

The anavar did not case him to gain weight. His consumption of increased calories did. If you are struggling with being underweight address your diet and or address your appetite issues. Anavar is not the solution.

 

[Evil]

What are you writing? Maybe you do not know that oxandrolone is used on all patients who are underweight. And there are hundreds of research showing that the use dell'oxandrolone lean subjects showed an increase up to 6 kg in 12 weeks. My doctor always prescribes the oxandrolone in people who have trouble gaining weight. The problem say it is another, try to use products with the active ingredient to 100% as the oxandrin at doses 20 mg even then we'll talk about. Many products are underdosed UG, thinks that a friend of mine had to analyze 100mg of oxandrolone, which was proved to be counterfeit, because in reality there was only 30mg, I'm not saying that oxandrolone is better than other steroids, but there are so many research demonstrating anabolic how much power he has to create new muscle without water retention. And they say that scientists, doctors and all people who do research in laboratories, not people who are not studied.

However, I apologize, because I do not want to quarrel with anyone. I'm just telling my experience. Since I was also prescribed oxandrolone to me because I was 10 kg underweight, I was in therapy for almost 8 months. My doctor always monitor cholesterol levels and transaminases, but never altered. I did 3 months with 20mg then after my doctor has lowered the dose to 10mg and so I continued for another 5 months. Logically other oxandrolone over in my diet I also added 80 grams of protein powder. After eight months my weight is back to normal, and my doctor stopped the treatment. Now more and continued to train and my weight has not decreased, they are always monitored by a doctor. I just wrote to tell my experience and to remind you that there are many other people who are always followed for problems related to low body weight. Good workout for everyone.

We are not quarreling. It is not a problem. We are in a discussion.

I understand that your experience support your assertion that anavar was responisble. What I am suggesting is that it was likely a catalyst. You increased protein intake, exercise and therefore increased weight. It is purported to improve appetite, well being and probably protein synthesis but I would not give it the credit in an anabolic sense.

My point is that if you were to have found alternate means to increase your appetite, protein intake, well being and trained you could have just as well gained the weight IMHO.

Your experience is not being dismissed.

I am not a doctor.

Winny as well. There is a reason Var has be used for far elevated HDL numbers.

What type of dr prescribes var? Would an endocrinologist prescribe it...?

Found this on RX list. This is what it would be prescribed for. From there you can imagine who would prescribe it.


Anavar Oral Uses
This medication is used to help people regain weight they have lost due to certain medical conditions (such as surgery, chronic infection, trauma, long term use of corticosteroid medication such as hydrocortisone/prednisone). It is also used to relieve bone pain due to bone loss (osteoporosis). Oxandrolone belongs to a class of drugs known as anabolic steroids. These drugs are similar to male hormones made by the body.

My younger brother got HGH shots when he was younger. He was really little and slower growing. My mom freaked out for years and finally did something about it. So did one Mom on his hockey team, I dont see Dr's writing scripts for Anavar.
