Thread: Clomid bad depression and mood swings

See your doctor. Right away.

I'm not sure it's from the clomid. Either that or the lack of test in your system. Sounds like cycling might not be the best for you.

Have your levels checked.

Been having really shitty workouts and also having trouble sleeping because of the depression.

Any of you experience this? When the hell will I get my life back? Like actually will this continue for another week after my pct? I can't handle it anymore

Bro its just the hormones.. And yes MANY people experience this while taking clomid. Thats why they call it the clomid cries. It will get better trust me.

its to late now but try nolva next time

I have some major emotional ups and downs on clomid. I usually take s4 and clen to keep the training up and keep some energy. And a lot more Xanax then normal that month. Mine usually doesn't get bad until the 3rd of 4th week. Then I'm better by week 6 or 7. Relax keep it in perspective. My training partner does not partake in the grown from the earth drug other then 6 weeks of pct.

I'd add the Nolva to the Clomid.

Was the Clomid you're only pct med? Or is it in conjunction with something else?

Was this your first cycle?
If not, what have you done differently from pct in the past?

you need to use HCG to get our test levels back up. Otherwise you will crash. Clomid does nothing to get your balls active only HCG does that. Live and learn. Use nolva and HCG next time keep clomid to no more than 25mg per day if you need it.

First cycle, and clomid 50mg is the only thing I am using. Could estrogen rebound cause mood swings? I could add some amiridex to combat that issue?

Clomid can make you a little Funny man. If you can get some hcg soon you would be better off. Clomid alone will work enough for small cycles. There is bro science in for yes and no regards to using adex during pct. I used letro once during pct to try and mop up a little gyno and it made the pct miserable. I wouldn't but I don't really know the answer. Alot of guys talk about using aromsan instead of adex or letro. I really dont know much about aromsan...

I almost left my wife once while on it... Still not sure if that wouldn't have been so bad.

Yeah, sounds like this is the first time you have been "shut down " ? Clomid never bothered me at all. It was coming off Clomid that sucked from being shut down ?

HCG is best utilized during cycle and prior to pct.
It would help to know what you're cycling off, how long you were on, dosage levels and frequency.

Here's a common pct regimen (this is by no means written in stone as the best way to do it):

clomid 150 /100 /50 /25 / 0 / 0 / 0
nolva 20 / 20 /10 /5 / 0 / 0 / 0
aromasin 6.25/ 6.25 / 12.5 /25 /25 /12.5/ 6.25

Here's a link to a PCT calculator that shows levels in your system based on injection times and when to start pct.
I'm sure the proper pct start time is highly debatable and experienced guys know what works for them.

Again, nothing I've said is written in stone.
Please do your own research. There is loads of information on pct out there.
Read a bunch of it, see what the majority are saying and formulate your own plan.
Once you have a plan, post it here and ask for tweaks and feedback.
Always have your pct regimen and gear on hand BEFORE starting a cycle.
Cycling off without proper pct is like driving a car with no brakes...

Very interesting calculator, thank you!

And yup, I posted my plan on here at got it all setup and got good feedback and most people agreed my plan was g2g. I had everything on hand before the cycle. Most people said that HCG was not needed, and after looking into it I decided to go with clomid over nolvadex. I'll have to do some more research before I do my next round next summer.

*And I am taking aromasin, not sure why I said amiridex earlier haha.

Fuck clomid. Im about to have to battle that beast.

aromasin + clomid worked well for me in my PCT no hard crash, good recovery. Also dont use HCG during PCT, you need to recover and HCG will be sending LH. Your body needs to be doing that on its own to recover properly. Its used on cycle to keep you from completely shutting down.
