Sexual side effects of Clomid?

[QuadCam]

After waiting the recommended 3.5 weeks of off time following an 8 week sust cycle, I began taking Clomid (day 1: 300mg, day 2: 100mg, day 3: 100mg, day 4: 100mg) and Teslac (250mg days 1-4).
Besides the fact that I became an emotional wreck in only 4 days, I wound up having some major sexual side effects (ie no sex drive, erectile dysfunction).
Please tell me that the clomid caused this and that it will go away soon; been 5 days since I've stopped and still feeling the effects. Help me please!!!

I'm not familiar with Telsac, but clomid shouldn't have any negative effect on sexual performance. It stimulates the relase of FSH and LH wich lead to increase in testosterone, increased sperm count, and increased ejaculatory load...

Are you using propecia?

Stew thanks for responding,
No, no propecia. Sust dosage was constant at 500mg/week. Could it be from my low test levels from coming off the cycle?
Any other ideas?

At 3.5 weeks after a sust cycle, there's no way your test levels were low....

Any other ideas? Diet has remained constant with lots of protein and adequate fat and carbs. I supplement with a B-complex vitamin, multivitamin, and folic acid.
I began incorporating Saw Palmetto extract when using Ripped Fuel and Hydroxycut--I've been using ephedrine products for years with no side effects--about 2 months ago.
Is it possible that it's depression related--coming off?

VERY possible that it could be derpression or cortisol related.. definately depression related. The saw palmetto may also be causing it.

I'd previously been diagnosed with depression (last year) and was originally prescribed zoloft; though it was discontinued after I experienced side effects (blurred vision, headaches). I then switched to welbutrin, and was gradually weened off that--within a month.
I have some 5-htp on hand, I guess I should begin taking that 50mg x 2 per day. I wonder if St. John's wart would help? Also picked up some Horny Goat's Weed today...

Addendum:

I lay off the Saw Palmetto then. How can I reduce those cortisol levels?

HCG and clomid post cycle will help to supress cortisol by jump starting natural test.... antiestrogens will also help.


St. John's Wart will not help.
