17 years old and starting Anavar...

[canesdiver7]

Well, heres my story. Im not sure im in the right place for this but whatever. I have always been very thin my whole life but recently I have had multiple surgeries that caused even more muscle and weight loss. I have been PRESCRIBED anavar (I have the generic Oxandrolone). My doctor says to take 5 mg a day for a month, then 10 mg a day for a month, then a steady flow of 15mg a day for maybe a year or longer as long as my blood tests are fine.

I of course began researching Anavar. Websites seem to say its not very effective and doesn't really promote muscle growth or weight gain unless combined with other steroids. Is this true. My question is how effective should this drug be. I know I need to provide my body with enough calories and muscular stimulation to get results but is Anavar a "baby" steroid? I guess any help i cana get will be great but how much of a help should Anavar be?

Also, what are some tips to maximize my gains while on Anavar. If im going to be on a steroid I want to do the most I can during the time I am on it.

Thanks

Man, first off your not allowed to be a member at your age so you will be suspended until your 18.

Secondly, Damn dude your lucky your doc. prescribed you Var, How much is your script for? if i were you id run it @ atleast 30mgs ed and eat a crap ton of food. and only do it for a month or two then stop. Run a simple pct and get blood work. even at 15mgs you wont gain much.

if you were prescribed anavar for medical reasons then stick to it. do not over do it and try to gain mass or whatever. do what the doctor tells you and you will be ok. he gave you var so you can get better not so u can start juicing

also you have to be at least 18 to join this board

my prescriptions for 90 10 mg pills. 1/2 a pill a day for the first month, then one pill a day the second month, then 1.5 pills the next month. So in 3 months I'll be taking 15 mg a day. I plan on only doing what the doctor said...i dont plan on combining it with other drugs or start juicing. I was just wondering how effective what I am taking should be

I believe from what I've read that a dosage of that size will not necessarly build any new muscle, (unless of course you eat a ton and excercise effectively) but mainly it will stop muscle wasting and any further weight loss.

You're only 17, you don't need to combine it with anything else, that will mess you up for life. What you need to do, now that you have something to prevent you from getting any skinnier, is to hop over to the diet section, and look at a mass building diet that gives you at least 3000 calories aday. By the end of the 3 months you look different, I guarantee it.

hey bro you need to be 18 to post here so im sorry but admin is going to have to ban you. feel free to come back in a year when your 18 and we will be here to answer your questions

Unfortunately for you, you're too young to be here. That is ok tho becuase the advice that has already been given you understand. Becuase its for medical reasons just follow the doctors orders, however you should go to the diet section and browse bulking diets to get an idea of how to eat. You will grow more then ever and be very happy with yourself. If your doctor has you on a diet compare it with some sample diets here, you could possibly add some more food to that. Keep researching.......and nice knowin ya here!

Just wondering: what did the doc script it for?

[canesdiver7]

^ Im just skinny. Ive always had trouble gaining weight

well you must be dangerously underweight because docs dont like to write steroid scripts for minors. Go check out the diet fourm, something tells me you need work there

And your doctor never thought a diet change would be an option.

I was thinking the same thing...

I hear var and creatine are synergestic so make sure to be using that.

[canesdiver7]

I think the appetite was a big issue. I needed some sort of appetite stimulant. I also said I had 6 surgeries so thats part oft he reason for the prescritpion along with just being naturally slim

Take the meds your doc prescribed, no more no less . See you when you are legit. Good luck.
