Long Term Clomid use experience

Hello everyone, I am posting this simply to share my experience and would love for anyone to share theirs. I have been on clomid for almost 2.5 years now straight. I take 100 mg a week so 50 mg every 3 days. I have used 0 anabolics and I am 27 years old. My numbers have been fantastic. 1200 total and I am at the upper range for free t (every lab ranges are different). My estrogen is right where it needs to be and these numbers have been consistent. I am frustrated because this has changed my life for the better however my anxiety and ocd has been terrible. Energy great, libido great, sleep on point but it is the anxiety and weird thoughts that are frustrating. I do not want to take anything to lower my estrogen because it is right in range. My IGF-1 was on the lower end but still within range so I am wondering if optimizing gh may enhance my sense of well-being. Right now I do not feel I need TRT given my age. Of course nothing beats injections. I have looked into enclomiphene but not many compounding pharmacies make it. I get my clomid compounded. I know there is amino asylum and what not, but I still prefer to get enclomiphene compounded. Any thoughts/experiences are welcome! People talk about this night and day difference from clomid to enclomiphen but not sure if its significant. I am wondering if this is the zooclomiphen build up.
 
Two things...you might try some Lithium and see if that helps with your anxiety. Dr. Sandra Kaufmann thinks IIRC that 20-30mg per day is a reasonable dose, but you would obviously want to start low and adjust up to that only if needed. Also, when I was on clomid only, I could only tolerate a much lower dose ( around 35mg per week) so you might want to back off the dose and see if that helps. That will take a while to assess however since it takes clomid so long to clear. I found that when I lowered my dose I needed to stop completely for a few weeks and then restart, but since you are in a good place otherwise, perhaps you can just lower the dose a bit and see if you can maintain the benefits without the problems.
 
Also, you might check out the book Adrenal Dominance which talks a lot about anxiety IIRC. I believe the author recommends a low dose of progesterone. Progesterone can be problematic in its own right for some men, however it may be worth looking into to combat anxiety.

Thanks for the feedback! Caffeine does not help either but all of these heightens the anxiety so getting to the core is something I have been working through. I have tried everything from Magnesium to L-theanine. I think Dr. Mark Gordon was a big fan of supplementing with Pregnenolone. I think there is a lot of negative stigma on clomid. For someone like myself, I think there are so many positives here just trying to crush that one and only side effect.

Clomid may be to blame. These are common side effects of Clomid.

Peptides to the rescue.

This may not be true. The newer oral T, Kyzatrex, Jatenzo may have the advantage when it comes to side effects, especially with regards to erythrocytosis. Also, steady states in 7 days, going through three dosing changes and reaching steady states three separate times in the timespan it takes to reach steady states on injections on the attempt.

No more hormonal chaos for weeks on end.

I stopped Jatenzo a little over 5 months ago and my HPTA come back online in 7 days after being on for 6 years.

Imagine needing to come off for fertility reasons!

Oral T is less suppressive on the HPTA than injections.

Higher serum DHT versus injections, higher FT achieved versus topicals.
