PCT, Clomid, and Depression

[Diggerman]

I am currently doing my PCT which is basically 4 weeks of clomid. I'm getting very depressed despite having no major issue in my life to cause this. Like anyone else, I get pissed off or moody from time to time, but this is the first instance that I couldn't be fucked even going into work. I go in and then do nothing at all. Add into that the sleeplessness that clomid causes and it's not easy. I know I just need to rough these 4 weeks and all will be okay, but has anyone else found Clomid to be a "mood killer"?

Persoanlly no, but I have read several posts on "moody-ness" caused by Clomid. Even some of the vets out there have posted this probelm. I think you will be fine once you ride it out.

Did the same thing to me last PCT, it got so bad I took a couple of maint. shots of test (which negates PCT) but I had to just to get thru the holidays and work and such, then it turned around pretty quickly, but a week or so was living hell as far as depression goes.

Why are you doing 4 weeks of clomid , just do 21 days at the most, you need to be re activated, not to be dependent.
I use 300 mg day 1 , 100 mg 10 days and 50 mg for 10 days. never got any sides at all.

The first time I used Clomid, I figured out pretty quickly that the 300mg day 1 is not a good idea....I had a freakin meltdown. Now, I start at 100 and keep it at 100 for the first week before dropping down to 50mg....and I find that only the first week sucks emotionally. Once I drop down to 50mg, I'm fine.

The psychological sides of clomid were very evident in one of my clients, the guy got super depressed within days of starting clomid and was even talking about suicide.

[slat1]

I will always use clomid. I must admit I was forced to watch the OC with some girl and almost broke down back in december. Really embarrassing.. don't think she noticed.

Ha-Ha!!!! Bet she was very impressed with your sensitive side!

Even just to talk to other BB's about this helps. Definitely a link between clomid and depression.

What alternatives to clomid are available?

 

[tempest2003]

dude what about the frikken specs in your eyes from clomid? i forget what theyre called, but i still see little specs in my eyes when i look around its from clomid, i read about it, but the shit is bad, it never goes away, im kinda scared of clomid after that

Seriously, Mr. X, what are the alternatives? Shit, I can't afford to be a loose cannon for a week or 2. HCG or what?

 

[wootoom]

Mr.X

Mr.X

yeah i will never use clomid again, i was very suicidal a few months ago during pct. nolva from now on, even though the nolva gives me acne.

and the streaks, yeah my eyes were really screwed up while on clomid. nolva is more effective and has less side effects.

 

[chudzman]

so... The alternative to clomid is what? can something else jump start ur system as effectively?

 

[CNovaJason]

I've been using Clomid for a week now and I've noticed I'm a little more of a loose cannon when really pissed off. I get road rage pretty badly so I lose it in my truck but other than that I'm ok........No depression so far and the only bad thing is the taste. I'm running 300mg day 1, 100 for 10 days then 50 for 10 days just like proxon.....after week 4 or 5 I'm going to run a Tren Acetate and Test Enant cycle for 10 weeks. I'm trying to bulk right now so hopefully that will do the trick with eating heavy, lifting heavy and resting heavy. Remember, PAIN DON'T HURT

 

[donsj]

The sudden drop in test before natural test kicks in is a bitch. I have had to do a small amt like 50mg just to get through but only once. I know it prolongs recovery but sometimes you just gotta or go nuts. I agree with Indy69 that sometimes you gotta do a little.

i was very prone to depression when i was 14-18 (i'm 23 now), and then it just went away- but when i started clomid as an anti-e recently (i ran out of nolvadex and i had some around), i almost had a friggin' meltdown. the depression and anxiety came back over the course of two days (even worse than it had been when i was a teenager), and it continued for almost a month until i realized what was causing it. stopped the clomid, and two days later i was fine. different things affect different people different ways-clomid is something that is considered benign, but i would be VERY careful w/ it if you are prone to depression or anxiety

 

[chyllaxyn]

nolva is in the same family.
less sides and more effective

 

[Apexx]

I'd recommend nolv over clomid any day. I've never suffered from the clomid sides, but why take the chance when there is something else that will do the job.

Which is more effective, I don't see a difference. There are two sides to this argument. The pro clomid side and the pro nolv side. I've had studies for both arguements emailed to me and I honestly don't know which is right. But like I said, they both work, so why risk a mental brake down with clomid.
