[QUOTE="tb64146, post: 50035, member: 14009"] [b]Clomid with depression[/b] I just joined the site recently looking for this exact topic. Sorry I've not made a introduction yet - I will soon. I started taking Clomid 25mg / day about 10 days ago. The last week I've never felt so down and depressed in my life. I do have a history of minor depression (runs in the family) which is treated with Wellbutrin (450 mg /day). At 43 and a testosterone level at 74 ng/dL I wanted to try any alternative to TRT. I know my t-level has been low for at least four years, but I just hadn't dealt with it until recently. Started with urologist who put me on Androderm and then Androgel. After a few months, on a follow-up, I asked why my t-level was low to begin with (which I now realize I should have asked to begin with) since I'm fairly young and healthy. He checked my balls and recommended seeing an endocrinologist. The endocrinologist ran tests (LH @ 1 IU/L; FSH @ <1 IU/L; Prolactin @ 9; MRI showed pituitary normal) and was open to trying Clomid - I desperately want to try kick starting the boys before giving up on them and taking TRT. A nurse, unrelated to the endo's office, said TRT basically just lets the boys shrivel & die. I don't want to give up on them. That said, since taking Clomid I have felt like complete crap physically and this weekend I have been mentally thinking of what I would need to take care so I don't leave my family a mess to deal with (consolidating $$ into a one account and setting up TOD, verifying beneficiary info, throwing away any embarrassing things, like porn, etc.).
