Here are the sides of clomid
Flushing of the skin
Slight eye irritation at high dosage.
Here are the sides of not taking it:
Gyno
Small worthless balls
Low test production
I would go for a crap ton worse then flushing of the skin and eye irritation for working balls.
I know some people are going to whine, but, i'ma post it anyway. Obviously sides are in a small amount of patients, but if you're going to suggest something to someone, they may as well have as many details as they can get.
'slight eye irritation' according to drugs.com :
[h=3]Ocular[/h]
Transient blurred vision, scotomata, flashes of light, vitreous detachment, retinal hemorrhage, retinal thrombosis, retinal vascular spasm, temporary loss of vision, scintillations, and heat waves have occurred.
Irreversible palinopsia (prolonged afterimages), shimmering of the peripheral field, and photophobia have been reported.
clomid drug/side information :
http://www.drugs.com/sfx/clomid-side-effects.html
it's really hard to ascertain all the sides from clomid, since it really isn't used too often by physicians on male patients.
I'm going to end by saying, i am not on a soap box saying people shouldn't use clomid - i just think people tend to UNDERexaggerate sides of SERMS.
