Dark urine questions
ad
Hey Guys,
I am currently on a Test E/EQ cycle about 7 weeks in and started 50mgs of var last week and over the last 4-5 days urine has been a dark brown color. Nothing I can pin down yet its random throughout the day, so far about twice a day.
I'm not drinking enough water cause its cold here, I feel fine otherwise. The pills themselves are dyed a dark red color and I'm hoping that its just the pigment not breaking down you know.
Anyway any thoughts or suggestions cause I dont wanna go to the doc over it unless it persist and then I will do what I have to.
Thanks for any advice

You're not drinking enough water because it's cold where you are? That doesn't make any sense brother. Sounds like that could be your problem though. Up your water intake, you'll notice the difference very quickly if that's the issue.
Good luck
Why wouldn't that make sense Jason? Do you think bottled water just fly's off the shelf in wintertime? FYI I was drinking just not enough, about 1/2 gal per day. And turns out that wasn't the problem anyway, sorry to sound like a dick but I understand fully about water intake was just stating that its hard to slam 1+ gals a day in 20 degree weather.
You're not sounding like a dick mate - It just doesn't make sense to me because I live Scotland where we're lucky to get above 20 degrees in the middle of the summer, never mind this time of year; I've never heard of anyone struggling to drink water because it's cold. Good to hear you got it sorted though!
Glad you got it sorted out and treatment is scheduled. Hope you heal up quick.
i almost passed out just reading that - keep strong bro and definately see the doc .
Well it got worse, now has went to straight blood so I went into the urologist this morning and will have the CT scan Monday it looks like and probably minor surgery Wednesday. The staff didn't seem concerned about stones and the sample was basically a cup of blood lol, pretty embarrassing but wouldn't say much else till testing and scan came back but did schedule the scoping thing and said I would have to go under so they can flush the bladder to look for "abnormalities" (minor bladder cancer is what I'm thinking). Anyway I have been reading up on the procedures and it doesn't sound that bad, the basically lance of any growths and your finished until follow up.
Thanks for all the replies and advice
Im assuming you have stopped your cycle? or at least the var?
Sorry about the bad luck, do keep us updated on the diagnosis.
Get well.
Oh Lord yeah, I dropped the var and got a couple weeks left on the cycle and I will finish it up and PCT and MAYBE hit the orals again in March depending on how bad this is. Anyway thanks for the words of encouragement bro.
Bro,
I am genuinely sorry to hear this. Wow. You're one tough dude. If I were pissing straight blood - I would probably pass out like a wimp.
Get well bro.
Very best,

Thanks Bro,
I wouldn't call it tough just a situation that everyone will have to go thru for one thing or the other eventually, I've never had any health related probs so sooner or later its bound to happen. But yeah it was just dark until a few of days ago at work I go to the restroom and bam there it is, pretty fucking shocking. And we have a row of urinals at work so I frantically start wiping the one I used down so somebody wouldn't come in and flip out thinking WTF is the matter with me. So needless to say I made the appt directly after that.
drink more water x2
As you know,,,drink more water,,,if it persists and worries you,,,see a doctor.
Try the suggestions below as a first line of defense. But then . . .
Dark urine is a side effect of Anavar. It is not that common and is usually associated with an adverse reaction to the drug by the liver. At a minimum, get a liver panel done, but if it persists, I would drop it and see a doc.
Yeah I will up the water intake dramatically asap + get some cranberry juice tomorrow
better than that go to the drug store and get the actual cranberry tablets they work much better and are better for you than the juice which has a lot of sugar in it .. as well as often not being all juice.
BigBmajReal cranberry juice is super tart and has low sugar content. The organic stuff is really good mixed with a tiny bit of apple cider. I think it's like $10 a bottle. Try it out if you haven't.
ya man you need to flush your filtering organs. those orals are harsh..
aylmejorStep 1 drink more water...
Yep, when I run an oral, clen or ephedra I drink upwards of 2 gallons ED. Don't forget the electrolytes too, Gatorade or coconut juice
X2 I get a gallon of water every morning and its hard to drink it here cause its cold also but I just chug it every break and get it all down in a ten hour day of work.
