Clomid and BodyBuilding Part 7

Mood changes

The other major side effect of Clomid is mood changes. There are many reports that women who have taken this drug for long periods develop a variety of behavior problems ranging from severe depression, anger, anxiety and aggression. Other changes also reported include paranoia, restlessness and insomnia.

Despite the worrisome side effects in some individuals, studies from many clinical trials show that these side effects occur in less than 1% of women. There are no hard numbers on how many bodybuilders suffer from these adverse effects.

Cost

While Clomid requires a physician’s prescription for use in the treatment for infertility, the product is also widely available all over the internet-without a prescription. The cost of clomiphene is variable. The average cost for 100 pills (25-50 mg) cost anywhere from $ 50-100.

Levels and Detection

Clomiphene is readily available for anyone who wants to use it. However, all sporting organizations have banned the use of this drug in professional sports. The drug is easily identified in the urine for at least 5-12 days after use. In fact, the testing for clomiphene is very sophisticated and some laboratories even measure the levels of testosterone, estrogen, their metabolites and determine the ratio. When a certain ratio is seen, abuse with clomiphene is suspected.
