Var Question?

[scgirl28]

Still making up my mind whether I'm going to run the var cycle. I'm eating clean and doing a clen cycle to see where that gets me. I''m on bc (meridia iud) and don't want to mess it up. Got the var before I realized the bc interaction (duh) so ... My friend who I work out with was talking to me about var, neither of us has run it before. She said that she would do it. She has been taking phentermine for 4 weeks and I wanted to check with you guys to see if that would be a problem. I don't want her to get hurt and I figured this was the best place to ask! I know that the phen and clen don't mix and I told her that.

Thanks for the help again!

Hmmm - are you saying she wants to do phentermine AND clen? In a word, its just overkill. Phentermine is essentially prescription speed. I don't know which receptors it hits, but you can pretty much blow out your adrenals if you keep up on that stuff. (I know... very technical medical terminology there...) But there's just no point to putting your body thru that amount of stress. If you need that much stimulant to lose bodyfat then your diet really needs to be reviewed.

If you're talking phentermine & var - no, no there's no interaction. My only comment regarding var is just that you or she know what you are gettign into, know all the sides, the benefits, how to support your body during the cycle and what to expect as far as impact to your hormones.

Thanks Sassy,

I reread my post and it was confusing. I am not going to do the var...don't want to mess with mess with my iud! She does want to do it but I was worried that she would have an interaction with the phen that she has been taking.

I am running clen and told her that I knew clen and phen did not mix, but that I would check here about the var and phen.

Thanks for the input! It will be interesting because we both train pretty much the same and we are both eating well. I'll have to take some pics to see the difference in our bodies in the next couple weeks.

Thanks again!

Is that Meridia IUD = Mirena IUD? i .e. the mirena uses progesterone --- since its hormone-based, yes the var will impact it. If its non-hormonal, it won't.

Be careful with any steroid. True, Var is mild compared to others, but that doesn't mean it has no side effects. Be sure to research extensively dosage/time schedules and how to support your body like sassy said. And PLEASE pay very close attention as to the information you receive. MAKE SURE it is for women, NOT men. Huge difference in dosage, unless of course you want to become one!
