Too much Clomid?

[Ercole]

I recently tried Clomid for the first time, coming off a cycle. I used the 300 mg. dose the first day, dropping to 100 thereafter, as recommended on these boards. The side effects -- acne and mood disturbances -- were so bad, I had to give it up.

Then I talked to a friend who works out with a certain M.S., famed for his symettry and his long-lasting pro career. Mr. S. says, according to my friend, that folks are taking way too much Clomid.

He says half a tab (25 mg) a day is enough to kick start the testes. Seems to me at this reduced dose the sides would be much less horrid.

Startign today I'm trying this lower dose. I'll tell ya how it goes.

that would be a serious drop from 100 ed to 12.5 ed

considering how much it costs us doing these cycles, and not wanting to lose everything we have gained....

I think I would lower the dose but not that low
try 50 a day and see how you react.... then go lower if the sides are too much.... if that don't work I believe there are other alternatives

Basskiller, I don't understand your math. How do you get 12.5 a day? M.S. recommended 25 mg a day.

The thing to remember about Clomid is, it's NOT an AS. It's female hormones, just meant to trigger the body to respond by manufacturing test.

Surely the minimum effective dose is what we want -- unless we're undergoing "gender reassignment".

As for me, when I look at pix of MS, and think how long he's managed to look that good, I think I'll try his recommendation.
