I am currently on my fourth day using Novedex XT. Since Day one I have been feeling lethargic and unable to focus. I even missed a scheduled work out which is rare for me. Has any one else experienced this condition with Novedex XT? I?m debating whether or not to complete my planned 8-week cycle. Any experience, good, bad or indifferent would be greatly appreciated.

I had this same experience myself, because I didn`t follow the instructions. It tells you to take them at night, before bed, because they mane me sleepy as well, I have no clue as to why they would do this, but they did. I started taking 2 at night, and I slept better, and after about a week or so, I was getting more energy for my workouts, and things fell into place after that.
I take 3 Novedex at 10:00PM and 3 ZMA at 11:00PM and hit the sack at 11:30. Up at 7:00AM, then real lazy around 2:00PM just before I head to the Gym. Hopefully this will pass. I feel a little more enthusiastic today

If things dont improve, try laying off the ZMA, maybe youre giving yourself too much of a good thing.

Yes, you’re probaly right. It’s the male thing, if a little is good than alot is better.
But i do feel better today, I will have to see how my work out goes.
Novedex makes me wake up constantly at night ‘at attention’. I cut the dose and it still does this. I took 4/night for a week in the beginning, but had to cut the dose.

HH, how do you like the product as far as your workouts go? I take 2 at night until the bottle is gone, and then I switch to TRIBEX Gold, solo, for a week or two, and then it`s TRIBEX Gold along with Rez-V, for the next few weeks. Always feelin Great!!

My workout intensity was slightly improved as was my concentration although not at 100%. My bench was off by 50# but my Bi’s were very strong.
I didn?t mention I had been using Vitrex for 8 weeks with just a two day layoff before I started with Novedex. Had good results with Vitrex and probably will return to it after I am done with the Novedex. I’m more interested in the test gains than the Boner effect albeit a great bonus.

I don’t understand how ZMA would contribute to this lethargic feeling or your rationale for it.

I cant answer for SLERG but I take the ZMA for the test boost and more importantly the sleep benefits. I understand that Novedex also has a calming effect so possibly it is to much of a good thing. I am certainly no expert and have nothing to base this on except my positive results with ZMA, which lead me to ask T-Nation for input regarding Novedex. Todays shoulder workout went very well, so maybe my bout of laziness was attributable to something else.

I have the lethargy effect and my workouts are off. Is that because of the estrogen suppression?
Headhunter, How long has that been going on?

Im not sure, but I usually just get out the heavy artillery, and take a SPIKE, and once that kicks in, its all over but the shoutin, best damn workouts you`ll ever have.

About 5 days in. For some wierd reason, it also gave me gas like crazy! Not good when you’re in front of a room of teenagers — though, with some of my classes, it’d be hilarious.
I’m going to go back on Novedex in a few days, at 2/day.
Spike is no good for me anymore, since they added Yohimbe/Yohimbine. My body does NOT like that herb. Wish they’d take it out.
Im on novadex since 8 days now(2pills/day), and i dont feel or experiment any changes !
