150mg of Clomid is making me crazy

BabyMimi

Sorry to be an AW. I know I just complained about clomid the other day but seriously, 150mg is making me a crazy basket case.

All I do is cry and wallow and feel sorry for myself. I am edgy and moody and I can't get any sleep. 

It is to the point that I think I need a therapist, no joke. I just feel so unbalanced and this is so unlike me. I don't know what to do...

Oh no!  How many days do you have left?  Is there a Dr. on call at your Dr.'s office?  

I'm so sorry.

This was totally me at just 50mg. I'm SO sorry you are going through it. Try taking a walk... it may help.

I'm sorry, it really does suck.  Just keep telling yourself that it will be over soon and it is the drug, not your brain.  I was that bad too, and DH worried that I was even suicidal.  I wasn't really, but it really messed with my head.

Have you tried femara?  It is sooooo much better for me.  Assuming there is  a next cycle (hopefully not!) but you might ask your doctor about it.  It is way more expensive, but you can get a coupon online that makes it $10.

Hang in there.

DH and I took a power walk for an hour right after I posted this. I feel a little better but while we were walking I started crying two different times. I'm hoping this gets better soon. I am not used to feeling so unstable. I am usually very calm.

So sorry, hope this is your cycle so you don't have to take it again.

I'm sorry you're feeling so out of sorts. I've been sleeping poorly, too, and I wonder if it's the Clomid (though I'm only on 100 mg). I hope you don't need to take it again!

I'm so sorry you feel that way   I had intense clomid crazies too, and felt like that - like all I wanted to do was cry for days, and I was so sad and miserable I really thought I needed therapy (which I did pursue, and really do appreciate).  I talked to my RE about it, about the emotional side effects, and he said that that is not normal and is reason enough to pursue a different course of treatment.  He pulled me off clomid and put me on injectibles that day.

Thanks. I am going to tell him tomorrow. I felt like I was seriously losing it yesterday. It was really bad. If this cycle doesn't work out, maybe he'll do injectables next time.

I fvcking hate Clomid & I'm only on 50 mg.  I told DH I wasn't doing it again after this month, but he wants me to try the full three months. 

I'm a crazy lunatic who's also an insomniac on it.  I hate it.
