How long does "Clo-mood" last?

[Anonymous]

Hi, all, I've started Clomid this cycle, and I've heard it can really make you feel depressed and crappy. Do you know how long these emotional side-effects last? Is it just for the duration of the drug or does it linger? Thanks.

Funny, I had no side effects from Clomid.

In my experience, just for the duration of the cycle. And I HATED clomid.

I don't feel like Clomid actually *change* my mood, but it made my moods more strong. Like, things that would irritate me normally would make me quite angry; things that would make me angry would tip me into a killing rage.

It goes away by the end of the cycle, though.

For me it depended upon how long I was on it. If I took it for 2-3 months in a row it did not go away by the end of the cycle.

I've had two cycles of just 50 mg. MAJOR anxiety, felt like a 4-5 day panic attack. And like 11:04 the emotions were jacked up, like irritation turned into rage, worry into being terrified, embarrassment into utter mortification, etc. I did not get depressed, which was a relief because I have a history of depression. Also I did not get migraines, which is odd because I've been the type to get migraines at the drop of a hat since I was in 3rd grade.

I hate it. For me it started about 3 days into taking it and lasted 3 to 4 days after taking the last dose. Once I O'd I felt lots of relief. But in the TWW I was tearier than usual, but really that was more like a bad case of PMS rather than medicated hormonal overdrive.

Clomid made me so full of rage. I just walked around so angry all the time, until close to menstruation, at which point I cried a lot. The 50 mg month was better than the 100 mg, which was truly terrible the entire month.
