As far as getting emotional from clomid - it depends on the amount of androgrns in your body,
Ratio of androgens:estrogens is more important than absolute numbers.
During my first attempt to pct in september i started 25mg clomid
without running hcg prior to that. I felt like sh1t and only on 25mg i was feeling totally unmotivated and depressed, and even woke up one day with tears rollong (even though i wasnt sad, they started coming for no reason). I was practically just laying in bed whole day with crazy anxiety and paranoia.
This time i am running 50mg per day, double the dose, but i feel good, strength is going up and everything is working fine, because i have been running hcg prior to starting clomid and my androgen levels are obviously way higher than they were during the first pct attempt.
This time around the only side effect are fits of rage lol.
Clomid had an isomer which acts estrogenic in the body, if you got very low androgen levels (which you do as you are shut down), then you are esentially inducing estrogen dominance.
I know the feel of estrogen dominance, used to get it when i was running underdosed test (which amounted to about 40-50mg of actual test e per week).
It is a mix of sadness and anxiety, weird feeling, hard to describe. But you do feel horrible and it seems like you are going to lose it.
btw imho if you drop clomid it will lengthen your recovery. Yeah nolva is shown to be more potent than clomid blah blah but there must be a reason why clomid is prescribed for secondary hypogonadism.
also anecdotally clomid seems to be way better at kickstarting lh.
