clomid crazies?

I know I'm not too regular a poster, but I'm hoping someone else had to have this issue!

Anyone else having the big emotional side effects of clomid?

on 50 mg I had nothing. Last night was day 3 of 100mg. Normally I go right to bed but last night I was talking to DH and just started crying because I've "lost my edge" (something DH teases me about) and I'm just a mom (as in lost my identity, although I couldn't tell you what my identity was, I've always wanted to be a SAHM job since I was a kid). I sat their crying going on and on for a bit about it. When I used to deal with depression I could tell the difference between a real honest to goodness cry for a reason and one that was just because of depression. This made me feel like I was depressed all over again, but I can tell that it won't last and should go away when I stop taking Clomid.

So I'm curious, anyone else weepy or emotional? How long did the effect last? did it end with your last pill or go on for a few days after?

Re: clomid crazies?

  • I took 100 mg 2 cycles in a row and had huge emotional effects b/c it's an evil drug. I was so incredibly b!tchy it was a miracle we had sex when we were suppose to. I also was so on edge that my daughter's normal behavoir would drive me insane to the point I had to walk outside one time. I found it got better a couple days after the last pill, but I also felt that my pms moodiness was worse at the end of those cycles.  Not fun at all. I should also say that I was warned about this by many many women.

  • I was an absolute train wreck on clomid.  Like a crazy nut ball train wreck.  I never had PPD, but I can only imagine that is what it is like.  What got me through was knowing that the crazies were ony temporary.  Hang in there lovey.  I hope this is it!

  • God yes, the second month I took it, I was a raging B!tch. The third month, my highest dose wasn't as bad which I think was thanks to starting accupuncture.

  • My dosage days I didn't sleep and I was a super crazy hormonal bee!  The rest of the month I was still very emotional and felt PMS like.  Clomid is a tough drug.  GL!
