hey there... just wondering if anyone who has been on clomid/tamoxifen ever experienced depression side effects?

I'm having a really hard time this cycle... it's my second one on tamoxifen and I'm feeling really emotional and just not myself. I do have a history of depression, but that got better once I started taking Met. Prior to that, I had been on celexa. Since I started taking tamoxifen last month, I'm finding that I am quick to cry and that I'm very moody. Add to the mix that I am not ovulating yet, and that's just frustrating me even more. It's really bothering me because people at work are commenting on my moodiness, and that's stressing me out even more. No one at work knows that I am ttc, and I really don't think it's any of their business. But how do I manage to keep it together if I don't feel well?

Any advice? I'm feeling a bit like I'm falling apart! I have my P4 test on Thursday, and I just know that when I see my dr, I'm going to burst into tears...

I am sorry your having such a hard time. I know clomid does tend to make women moody and emotional. I have read of alot of women getting those side effects, and I myself have had them. I don't know what to tell you to do though, I hope things will get better for you. Best WISHES.

Jen,
I just want to say that I hope things start looking up for you. It is too difficult sometimes to cope with having a health problem, fertility problem, and artificial hormones at the same time. Don't feel bad if you burst into tears. I think that you should feel proud that you haven't done it more often! Please take some time for yourself. Think about nothing, or think about things that make you happy. Do something lovely for yourself. If these don't sound good, ask your husband to hold you while you bawl it all out. It can really relieve some pressure. It could be that this cycle is really wacked out and will be over soon, taking the moods with it.
Best wishes,
Sheri
