Clomiphene is mean!

Oh my! This clomiphene has created a monster. Has anyone else who has been on it had mood swings from heck? Whew! Yesterday I was short fused and weepy, today I am paranoid, weepy, short fused and depressed. I don't know if I can go on this stuff again. Does it get better?

Clomid is bad, I felt moody too. Also hot, tired, and swolen in my arms and legs. Not to mention the cysts that is sometimes causes, they are painful. Hope you feel better, just realize your not alone!

Wow, yes I can tell you it gives me all those symptons.  I just finished this weekend my five day cycle and I wigged out.  I was totally paronoid and crying hysterical.  My dh didn't know what to do he just let me cry and tried to give me a little space.  Last month wasn't that bad, but this month I have been raging.  Good luck and I hope it works for both of us.

I mostly just cried and cried some more - but I was also very moody.  Not a good position to be in when you have to work as a waitress everyday!  So the next time you have a waitress that's in a bad mood, just think - she might be on clomid!  :o)
