I think clen caused my depression last PCT...

I've posted many, many times about how bad I suffered during my last PCT. I blamed clomid, coupled with tough personal issues at home. I was running clen at the end of my last cycle and a couple weeks in PCT. I think the clen is what caused the depression. I figured the clen would assist when the lethargy set in.

I can remember years ago using MaHuang/Ephedrine and diving into depression. Like I said, that was long ago, maybe eight years. This week i'm trying to get back onto a regular training schedule and preparing for a cycle. I started clen on Tuesday and my mood went into the crapper within 24 hours. The same feeling I had last PCT.

I don't recall seeing anything mood related in the readings or profiles on clen. Have any of you experienced this? Maybe I jumped the gun using it. I'm done with it though...

Hmmm spanky I have always ran Clomid & Nova for my PCT, I personally don't think Clen trigger depression side effect anyway look into Lexapro that should eliminate your depression,,,

That's what i've always run for PCT as well, just threw the clen in last time thinking it would give me an edge.

I know way back when, the ECA stack put me into a deep funk/depression. Many of the writings on clen liken it to MaHuang/Ephedrine. I figured I was feeling the same thing. Maybe i'm not supplementing my water intake enough as well as other supps. I'll read up on Lexapro as well. I've stopped the clen until I can read up.

I agree ... this is all I have ever taken as well and nothing has been a factor except about 2-2.5 weeks into PCT the normal "no pee-pee hard" rule came out - but no depression. I have never taken Clen, so I can't adjust to it...but you might wanna drop it like a bad habbit and stick to you know what your comfortable with!

That's what i'm doing. I may start next week (without the clen) and just run the ol faithful clomid/nolva PCT. I typically don't notice any PCT sides for 6 weeks post cycle. I can handle losing a little strength and pump but feeling like shit sucks.

Yessir - that's why I stick with clomid/nolva - I will loose some size and strength - but I know that everything will be back in order in about 4-6 weeks :)

i`ve taken clen. but have never, ever heard anything about depression.
I'm not finding much supporting my theory although there were a couple articles mentioning mood swings and lethargy. Of course most articles don't mention the doses studied. I really pissed away many of my gains because of this, I think. I just don't want to make the same mistake again, plus there's nothing wrong with being more informed, especially on clen. ;) I'm not running it again until I do more reading.

I think your depression is coming from a hormone imbalance from coming off, not the clomid, it probably just seems that way since your taking it right at the same time you will get the hormone depression. When I get this, if its bad enough I will inject 20mg of test prop if on hand, a large boost of zink can also help 150mg for 3 days, then back to 50mg per day. Dont forget red wine willl help you as well just dont go past 2 drinks of it, dont be like me and run and hide with the bottle and then stand on street corners bumming change to get more!:).
