Yep. We had 4 cycles of Chlomid 150 mg. I was very tired and emotional. And my vision was like a strobe light party. The vision part was quite scary and I couldn't work for a few days, then I needed specs for a while. Fortunately, my vision corrected itself back to normal a few months later. Tell your partner how you're feeling. Any extra support or sympathy helps. I treated the side effects like I would a migraine, I hid in a cool dark room and tried to just sleep it off. My sister is taking Chlomid at the moment on 50 mg, she is experiencing depression like symptoms. She is going to talk to her doc about it. Take notes of how you are feeling and mention to your doctor.

I was fine on 50mg but it didn't work so they increased to 100mg after 2 months. I felt like a crazy person - like about to explode with rage! After those symptoms had gone I was just left knackered. It will pass

Overall i took 50mg clomid for 10 cycles with break in the middle. My ovaries felt achy each month and I was pretty emotional but not extreme. I dont recall exhaustion and i dodnt get headaches or affected vision. It didnt work for us either thiugh so now starting ivf.

It will regulate your cycle though and give you a better chance for timing.

Good luck
