I need some help , hopefully you can enlighten me. First, Im 27 and have been lifting for about 10 years. I developed high bp around 4 years ago and began taking avapro. It is controlled due to the meds.Recently ive been having a hard time and Ive gained about 25 lbs within the last year. I have been lifting continuously for about 1 hr a day and occasionaly training cardio .(I know I should do more cardio)I starting taking lexapro about 1 year ago --but I think im going to stop. I never have been into anabolics and I know with high bp I shouldnt be taking any.High bp is definitely serious stuff but, I have been reading up on anavar and according to what I have been reading it says that it helps to suppress the appetite and there really are no side effects .I have not stopped lifting--Im getting alot stronger naturally, but I need to know if anyone thinks that it would have any negative effect on my body. Im thinking of doing it , but if it will harm me , I definitely wont do it --its not worth it. Thanks for replying
