Clomid sending me crazy!

[maryjanerowett]

I’ve been on clomid for 4 cycles now, and each time it’s progressively getting worse as regards to my mental health, I find around a few days after finishing my last tablet my anxiety goes through the roof, I find it unbearable to deal with, i suffer with anxiety and ocd anyway but this is MASSIVELY heightened after clomid, has anyone experienced similar and has any advice?

TIA X

Not clomid but ivf injection, I struggle with the effects, sets off anxiety, make me feel ragey, cranky, overstimulated, and all the things. The progesterone after all the shots though has a different effect, it calms me and relaxes me, makes me feel tired but not sleepy, though it gives me terrible indigestion, cramps, sometimes headaches, gas, severe bloating and makes my injury to my back and hips ache more then normal

@maryjanerowett ive been exactly the same. It’s put me into a depression and it’s making me doubt how much I want this. I feel it clears off towards the end of the cycle (on cycle 3 now) just in time for me to take the pills again. According to ovulation tests I’ve ovulated on day 10 which I think is much too early (after some unhelpful extensive googling) so I’m already dreading another month.

I feel your pain! It’s unbearable at times isn’t it, I’m the exact same a few days after the last tablet it’s really bad for around 1-2 weeks then it’s my period then time to take the pill again, it’s made me feel crazy!!

@maryjanerowetthave you found that the side effects have been worse with every cycle? Of different?
Strangely, I feel they haven’t been nearly as bad this month but maybe that’s because I ovulated so early??

I’ve definitely got worse each cycle! Oh really? I’m pleased for you that it’s not been so bad this month!
