Its been 5 days since my last post and I somewhat think I know what is causing my headaches and just thought I would post an update here in case anyone else had a similiar experience after taking primo and anavar. As I said in my last post I had a very extensive physical with all kinds of xrays, scans, blood work, etc. Well after I went through the report I realized they never checked my hormone levels aside from thyroid and stuff like that but no estrogen, progesterone, etc. It was the weekend and having had 5 really bad headaches a day and noticing the lack of hormone tests, my roommate suggested that I take some Nolvadex that happened to be here at the house. I tried it out of desperation and sure enough its working. I probably still need to go back to the DR because I have no idea what Im doing with the Nolvadex but atleast Im getting some peace and it has stopped the headaches.

Please give me a full update so I can add it to my memory banks. If you have time can you describe the feeling/location(bi/unilateral), intensity, ect. Thanks Girl, Hope it gets better

Chelsea.. NO baby!!! No Nolvadex! ! That will suppress your estrogen even more!! Right now your hormones are unbalanced due to the primo and var.. Hormonal changes may cause headaches.. this may be what you are experiencing.. Also, do you have pms?? that will also cause headaches because again your hormones are changing...

Anavar can also be the culprit here.. some women have reported headaches being a side effect of var.. it is a low percentage, but a possible side...

IMO, self diagonosing and medicating an already imbalaced situation which will further affect your hormones is NOT the best idea! Plus are you ready to deal with the side effects of Nolvadex. . it is NOT something to take lightly!!

In fact, the direct opposite approach is taken for women with low estrogen.. ie: menapausal women are given estrogen replacement which also helps alleviate headaches often associated with low estrogen.. so why the nolv is working on your headaches i am not sure.. i mean it is possible that your body produces an excess of estrogen on its own and the nolv has somehow balanced your hormonal levels a bit, but that is an out there theory just a thought...

another factor... did you cut too many carbs?? are you getting any caffeine or too much?? Diet may be causing the headaches as well..

ALSO, the most important thing to consider is your blood pressure.. high blood pressure can cause severe headaches!!


Please be careful!! Estrogen is so tricky and so hard to balance and incorrect manipulation can cause hellish problems!!!

luv super

I think that all of those are possibilities, but unless you let your physician know whats up all those tests can be thrown down the tubes. The average doc is not going to test your hormone ratios w/out some type of guidance in that direction. But the first 2 things that also jumped out at me were carbs and B.P. In other words....find a different doctor. We can theorize all day, but without lab values and a clinical examine its hard to get a grip on what your body is doing. Dont forget self medicating with nolva will also mess up future lab tests.
