lol, right! They will rotate you through them (Celexa, Lexapro, Paxil, Prozac or Zoloft) if you are not liking the sides. I started with Celaxa and it was doing jack shit, however, worked wonders for others. From Celexa he hit me with Lexapro and that was the ticket. The only other shitty thing about a new person hopping on an SSRI is that you don’t fully know how they are effecting you until a minimum of 4-5 weeks. Once you are at that mark and not really feeling the benefits (or getting shitty sides), they can switch you immediately.
I ran through 11 different meds over ~14 years. Lexapro worked for a while, but it wasn’t great. Prozac worked great but once I started trt I stopped using it. The nine others were all notable for various unpleasant reasons.
Was on Wellbutrin and Effexor for a while (both SNRIs), no help.
Trying to gain now, so maybe Paxil will help, lol. Been two or three years since I was on one, so we’ll see. A little nervous about the shitty orgasm comment, but, we’ll see.
And, currently on cycle, wtf @thehebrewhero?
On Lexapro at the moment and no complaints around libido or orgasms. But, like we were saying they each effect people differently.
You mean what I said about orgasms? Yea on Lexapro its harder to blast and its not as good.
As far as scrambling eggs I always heard certain combos like SSRI’s and Tren was a no no… Not so sure if thats the case for plain old test
@physioLojik (aka Dr Sir) reckoned that Trenbolone and Nandrolone should be avoided by people with depression. They screw up seratonin levels, which would suggest that stacking them with an SSRI isn’t a clever idea.
I’ve tried Zoloft, which didn’t do much for me apart from give me all the side effects. I’m on Lexapro right now, which doesn’t strike me as doing much good or bad. But it’s very individual, and you probably need to try a few to find one that works.
Incidentally, 500 mg a week was found to be a very effective antidepressant. Shame that doctors won’t prescribe it.
If I decided to cruise at 150mg weekly after the 12 weeks at 500mg, will that change anything around when I should take the anavar. Should I just continue to run it weeks 6 through 12 and just cruise at 150mg before getting bloodwork?
Quick update. Everything is going well at the moment. Nipples are getting a little itchy/sensitive. Should I start to slowly incorporate Aromasin or continue to hold off for a bit?

Interested to know how should Var be split up in the day.
Do people take it around their training hours or just like once in the Am and one in the late PM ? for a 50mg dose?
It’s got a longer half life (7-8hrs IIRC?) so twice a day is fine. Hell, once a day would still be very effective.
But does it hit hard? Is it good to take around the time you go to the gym?
No there is no pre-workout value to anavar unless you get a placebo effect.
What would you consider the two best times to split dosages then for someone taking day 60mg daily? Is three times a day @ 20 more beneficial given its 7-8 hour half life? Then say 30 twice daily?
I wouldn’t consider it more beneficial. There has to be a fairly large difference in order for me to consider it more beneficial.
Twice a day is fine.

I hear most var is fake. is this accurate?
how would you know if you got something else like dbol or windy?
I dont really buy into the “most var is fake” thing. Sure if your ordering from sketchy sources or places overseas who aren’t held accountable you run the risk of getting anything altho even then it’s probably real more times then not.
One of many reasons I order domestic and from places that can be held accountable for their products. Still not full proof but it make me comfortable enough. Il also lab max something if I’m gonna spend a decent amount of money on it.
I think var is probably under dosed more then it is actually fake. Altho when you have hundreds of places selling gear I’m sure some are substituting dbol or winny.

@zeek1414, how can I reach out to you privately?
some guys I know have taken some var from a source and they added something like 5lb in a week. I thought for sure that had to be fake var. the only thing that makes sense is that they got dbol instead.
so I’m trying to not use whatever place they got it from but I read around the net that most var isn’t real… now I’m debating not using it in my cycle at all. I want nothing to do with dbol
My email address is in my profile here on T-Nation.
If they are gaining that kind of weight it might still be var and it just might be because their diet is shit or full of sodium. My buddy runs dbol a few times a year and gains maybe a pound or two when starting it.
The whole your gonna gain 10lbs in 1 week and look like a watery mess is bullshit. If your relatively low in BF and your diet is clean it simply doesn’t work like that. One cheat meal can make a difference tho. For instance on the 4th of July I said fuck it and ate at a BBQ I woke up bloated holding 8lbs of water that took almost the whole day for me to drop.
I’m adding Dbol to this cycle for 4 weeks and finishing it with 6 weeks of Var. Hopefully my shit is legit. 
Quick update. I’m about 4 weeks in and currently at 223 lbs (23 pound difference from where I started). I did throw dbol in at 50mg ED for 4 weeks. I am going to push this from 12 to 15 weeks at 500mg test. I will still finish with 6 weeks of anavar. I also decided to not run a PCT and cruise at 150mg per week. I’m feeling fucking fantastic. Sex drive is of course through the roof, mood is great. No need to be taking Lexapro on Test I can tell you that. Any time I have been feeling any nipple sensitivity I will take 12.5mg aromasin. I say on average I will take that maybe 3 times per week. I’m literally just basing it on how I feel with the AI. So far so good gents.
