End of Cycle Depression (Anavar)

[amorescaso]

I am on an 7 week anavar cycle. I have 8 days left before I start tapering.
I am a 27 year old female. This is my first ever cycle.

Up to this point, I have absolutely felt on top of the world. I have felt superhuman in every way. I have been happy and excited about everything. Nothing has been able to get me down. My workouts have been AMAZING and my body is reflecting that. I have gotten completely ripped and I have gotten SO many complements about my body changes. Working out while on the pills has made me feel almost high. I have LOVED cycling.

This week, everything has changed. Since Monday, I have felt extremely depressed and down for no good reason. I have been unmotivated to do anything whatsoever, including working out. I have wanted to just go get in bed and cry all day. I went home yesterday and fell asleep at 8 pm and slept through my alarm this morning and woke up 10 minutes before I had to leave for work!!!

The very first week, I had mild acne, but that cleared up quickly. I have had no other negative sides this entire time. Why now?

Should I go ahead and start tapering and go into my PCT? Or wait it out and take my 8 more pills before tapering like I'm supposed to?

It's fine to post here.

STart you PCT right away. (WHat are you planning on using?) And then follow with BRIDGE.Need something to hold you over in-between cycles?

I'm not sure what BRIDGE is but I will look it up. I have nolva for my PCT. my bodybuilding friend (he's been doing this for years and years and years) is the one who set me up with the var/nolva combo.

DO NOT use nolva. Not only is it a terrible drug , it isn't needed with var and for a female it can cause serious problems. DO NOT use nolvadex.

No reason to use nolva. Women use nolva while on Var during contest prep (not all, but some do it that way).
I'm female too BTW. After every cycle I get depressed as well. Some women are more prone to it than others. I've found that 5htp can help. It's one of those things that you just have to push through and know that it's only temporary. For me the depression and low sex drive lasts about 2 weeks. Period comes back about 5-6 weeks after cycle ends. About that time I feel fully back to normal.
It's important to keep lifting heavy and eating right. After a cycle it's really easy to rebound.

Like everyone said, nolva is trash and you shouldn't be using it in an Anavar PCT.

Just parroting here but starting your PCT immediately afterwards can help sate post cycle depression, but when it really come down to it, it just happens with some people. When you feel invincible and then you take that feeling away, some people react more strongly to it than others.

Women really dont need a PCT after cycle. What did you have in mind?

Yes, there's no HPTA to recover. Though there are supps that can help you keep gains.
