Clomid & the PCT blues

**Shortyrock13** · 01-31-2004, 06:22 PM

can anyone please make me feel a little bit better? please tell me that this sense of depression and hopelessness in some cases is a result of coming off test and begginning clomid. I expected the 'girly' moodieness, but Im actually really depressed. Totally uncommon?

can't say I feel that way when I come off, just tired. I usually keep progressing as I go through pct so that keeps me up.

i thought the hopelessness and depression came if you DIDNT run your PCT and lost all your gains..............not helping you much ehhh

bro thats because you have hormonal fluxuations at the end of your cycle....and when the chemicals in your body get ****ed up...walla depression sets in...especially when you have low levels of test in your body.... ex) during PCT

If the low levels of test are effecting sex drive. Get some cialis, if you take that stuff it sure helps you get through the period of low natural test.

Same thing happens to me when I'm on clomid, not to sound like a puss but I feel like I could just break down and cry when I'm taking clomid after a cycle. It makes me feel like a little bitch but goes away when my normal levels come back.

Sounds pretty common to me. I also feel pretty bad when I use clomid during my pct. Never experienced it when using the other anti-e's. I get tears in my eyes all the time and can't control my tears when I see romantic stuff. Am I becoming a girl?

knowing what is causing the problem makes it easier to put up with the sides. it's just something you have to get through. like was posted, get some cialis if needed.

Well I am into week 3 of my PCT and gladly I have had no significant emotional sides. Only acne.

Week 4 myself and the real crash only lasted about 3 days... been taking tribulus and tongkat ali as PCT aids as well as Clomid standard doses and then had my blood checked at 2nd week when the testosterone enanthate should be out of my system and I should have been in maximum testosterone crash, my blood testosterone level was higher then I've ever recorded in my life and I think it was due to testosterone boosting effects of tongkat ali and tribulus combined.

Hows this:

Before cycle blood testosterone: 223

At maximum test crash in PCT w/trib and tongkat: 971

The blood test was 2 weeks ago, I have continued tongkat ali/tribulus combo and my sex drive is so high I'd dare say its better then at any time during my testosterone enanthate cycle using 500 mg a week, and the difference is, instead of shrunken balls, my nuts are now bigger then they've ever been!!

Well, I've only done one cycle but the Clomid had me swinging from euphoric to depressed. Fortunately the down part was really temporary, if that's any help.

The weirdest part was always feeling like I was about to burst into tears at any moment, although I wasn't feeling sad. It may sound wacked but I thought the whole experience was fascinating -now I think I have a better idea of how women feel, at least when they're on the rag.

Only sides from me are acne from the hormonal imbalance.

Maybe you are having a good healthy recovery. I had a good feeling I recovered very well and the blood test confirmed it was going extremely well although I wonder since Tongkat Ali and Tribulus are artificially boosting natural testosterone in me, will there be another PCT when I drop the tongkat/tribulus?
