Hey Fellow Inositol users....

[SonnyBlack]

I currently began taking 8 grams of powdered Inositol and I cant believe how good its calmed me down in the first couple of days. I had one simple question to ask: Has Inositol usage caused any of you to gain any fat or retain water in any way??? I ask this because I have a history of taking Prozac (around 3 yrs ago) and it made me gain around 10 pds of fat (dunno why, i trained and ate the same) Contest is comin up in a couple of months and i would hate to gain any fat or retain water because of this. Can anybody with experience with Inositol please chime in on this??

hey bro, i read in one of gary's post that it will not cuase the fat gain that some of the anti-depressents cuase. it actually is a vitamin that aids in fat loss.

 

[SonnyBlack]

cool...but does anyone know if Inositol makes you retain water???Cus ive been using it for like 3 days and i have been retaining alot of water since???any experiences??

 

[GaryWary]

no. inositol does not cause you to retain water. that will be your steroids!!!!

Enjoy!

the thing is that whenever i take a dose of inositol my body gets hotter and i begin to sweat (like when on an eca stack but a little less) and my face puffs up and i retain water all around my body As soon as the effects from the inositol dose fade away....i pee all the water i drank out. Its kind of weird really. Same thing happened when i took St Johns wort. I was wonderin if any of u may know what this is related to. Oh and right now im not on any AS or dnp or thermogenic. Just inositol

I haven't had any of those symptoms -- are you splitting into 3 or 4 doses throughout the day? I'm 6', 210 @ 10% bf and do OK at 6 grams, maybe backing down the dose a little would help... I drink mine with grapefruit juice. If anything, I'm leaner. Course I'm on winny too

 

[SonnyBlack]

bump any one else experience anything like this???

 

[GaryWary]

I'm sorry.. cannot help further...

all I can say is that inositol does not cause that side...

What roids are you taking?

 

[SonnyBlack]

im not taking any roids or eca stacks or dnp or anything. But whenever i take something to calm me down and help me relax like the things i mentioned...i puff up right away and retain tons of water...and i really never known why...just wanted to know if any of the experts here could help me out.

 

[GaryWary]

I don't know why.........

I don't get that side-effect at all...

Sorry!?

Could it be more in your mind?

At the end of the day what is worse - anxiety and depression or a little water retention?
