HELP! Anavar & take Concerta (ADD) + Phentermine

[BSU_BroncoGirl]

I need help! I am a 39 yr old female, 5'7" 170 lbs. I have been working out with a respectable trainer and on a strict meal plan (which yes I follow and do not cheat). 2 weeks ago I found I was allergic to soy & chicken, which I was ingesting soy in just about everything multiple times a day. Once I got those out of my diet we thought for sure I would drop this m.fing body fat, especially in my ass and hammys that just won't seem to budge.

No dice!

I take phentermine and also take Concerta (36 mg 2x per day), which is time released Adderall.

I am going to try 5 mg Anavar (or it's time to get freaking lipo).

Has anyone taken Anavar with ADD/ADHD medications?

Thank you!

Concerts is time release methylphenidate (Ritalin), which is different from adderall. I would be more concerned with interactions between the phentermine and concerta than I would be about the var. Is the phentermine prescribed by a physician?

 

[BSU_BroncoGirl]

Yes! I get my Phentermine and Concerta both from my family doctor. I've taken Concerta for years and the Phentermine for probably at least a year. Most people don't know what Concerta is, but they know Adderall - but you are correct!

What does your diet and workout regiment look like on a daily basis? I'm certain there is something you can change or tweak to drop some more unwanted weight rather than attacking it with more drugs or steroids

Looks like you've been working hard. I can't see anything specific that needs tweaking but I will say this... Some of your troubles could be cortisol related. That's a lot of strain on the CNS without rest in between workout days. I'm sure there are other factors such as slowed metabolism or maybe your body has simply adapted to this routine after months of doing it. Hard telling. HIIT training is something you could try incorporating as well.

Var can aid in a cut but I'm not really experienced in advising it to women... I know they usually take 5-10mg. Maybe someone else with better advice will chime in

Thank you for looking! Actually before this I was doing a lot more. After hiring this trainer he cut me back and increased my food intake. He is a little baffled too.

Its pretty frustrating. I was always the lean girl with the hot bod until I had my son and went through my divorce. Granted, I am not 28 anymore, even if I feel like it- but I can be better!

Thanks again!

var may be a good option...

or

you could look into SARMS and especially GW-501516. Much better option in my opinion for a lady.

about your diet.. I would cut your fruit and grain consumption in half, and then bump up your green veggies. Add a serving of the veggies to your post-post-workout meal. Cottage Cheese before bed is a good idea for the slow digesting protein, but when I am trying to cut body fat I eliminate any kind of dairy from my diet (accept for whey and casein protein). Maybe switch from Cottage Cheese to a scoop of casein protein.

I wish I could have my casein again before bed, but I am allergic to soy (& lecithin) and soy is in about 99.9% of whey protein products (took me forever to find one - plant protein powders are GROSS) and it's in all casein (that I have found). He just started the cottage cheese thing, and I miss my unsweetend almond milk and whey before bed.

I could never eat and live off unsweetend almond milk, vanilla whey and natural peanut butter.

I like what you say about the fruit and grains. I miss my greens! and I have never been a huge fruit eater.

Thank you!

what do you mean by allergic to soy and chicken exactly?

 

[BSU_BroncoGirl]

I was allergy tested three weeks ago and they found I am allergic to soy, chicken, shellfish (which I have been my whole life), kiwi and msg, canola oil, vegetable oil (which I eat clean so I don't eat those 3 anyway). Soy is in freaking everything, from the multivitamin I was using to my Omega3 and Whey Isolate. I've been off all soy and chicken for 3 weeks now. My blood work did show major inflammation which came from the food allergy (plus I felt like crap everything I ate - but it's been that way my whole life). Shellfish is another beast - thats an Epipen moment (but for a little bite of lobster or crab I just might take a shot to the leg). My Dr(s) and trainer said I should have dropped at least 5 lbs by now if not more when I took those out of my diet (especially since they were a main staple of my diet). I have been training hard for 2 freaking years and like this for a 6-12 months, lost 10 lbs. over the two years. I am not a cheater. I am not a food person, food is my fuel. When I go 'out to eat' I bring my meal - I am that girl.

Well.. losing body fat sucks for women. Sometimes it doesn't matter if you are doing everything correct.. your hormones just won't allow it. Anavar would help with this by elevating your test levels. But I am unsure of exactly how to set up a cycle for a female. I know the dosing is 5-10 mg per day for 6-8 weeks, but that is about it.

Have you looked into GW-501516 yet? It is a research chemical that is designed to help lose body fat. It is an awesome compound. Many people on this forum have used it with great success. It also doesn't come with any change in hormone levels and is side effect free if you keep the dosage in the recommended range.

And to answer your original questions. I am prescribed adderall and have had no negative interaction with it and running in sort of AAS.

 

[BSU_BroncoGirl]

I haven't looked into GW yet, but I will! It does sound like it might be more in line of what I need. This is all a new path for me. My good friend uses Winny and recommended Anavar, which brought me to research and here. He is well aware of my frustration and I think he sick of hearing it

He has a close circle of IFBB friends that have had great results with it. I just didn't know if combining the stimulants would be a concern. Though I take 72 mg of Concerta, Phentermine, a burner and drink ON Amino Energy in 1 gal of my water with no issues... You never know!

Thank you for your help!

 

[NegroPops]

I think GW would be a much better option
