I am starting my 6 week of anavar at 80mg per day. Also running 250 test cyp weekly and 200mg mast e weekly alongside

I am experiencing some severe sleepiness and feel foggy and stuck in sleepy mode even after taking rest days and sleeping well. Eating in a surplus and staying hydrated

Labs all came back good as far as test, e2, hematocrit. Blood pressure is good
Haven’t checked liver yet as it’s going to be elevated of course due to the oral

Taking
TUDCA, NAC, and Glutathione for liver.
The anavar is good as it’s been tested so it’s not “bunk”

But my goodness I am very sleepy …has anyone had this experience with anavar

I may drop down to 40mg. The plan was to run for 10-12 weeks total. 6 weeks at 80mg and to drop down to 60mg daily then 40mg daily before coming off the var.

It's been a while since I ran var, but last time I had fatigue on it. I was on the same dose. Dropped to 40 and it was much better. Not sure why honestly as I've run the 80-60-40 protocol several times prior without issues.

I wonder if it’s the stress on the liver?
I know anavar is mild so idk…when I had a drinking problem I wasn’t feeling like this and I bet the drinking was harder on my liver than anavar lol

2 things come to mind,

01) As you already mentioned liver stress can absolutely cause fatigue.

02) Not enough carbs.

Myself I would double my liver supps and add a bit more carbs.
Anavar is mild but 80mg could still cause stress.

My 2 cents

What dose do you use for your liver supps?
I’m on 2,000 TUDCA, 1800 NAC, 500 Glutathione

Has the anavar been worth it? When I took it I don’t remember the dose but it certainly wasn’t worth feeling sleepy all the time

I think I had some fatigue running high doses of anavar in the past too. Nowadays I run it very low (20mg) for extended periods of time because it still works some magic at that dose for me, and it doesn't affect my bloodwork in a noticeable way at that dose either.

I've run it 3-4 months at 20mg (along with some deca), gains were great and bloodwork was great.

When I run it 50mg or higher my liver numbers get jacked up. I can't do that much longer than 8-10 weeks, then I need the same amount of time to get back to normal. That's what prompted me to experiment with the lower dosage.
