They often report mood swings, and pms type behaviour. I think it's due to a progesterone effect the drug may impart. So while it may increase your testosterone levels you may not like the other side effects. Not for a mood disorder anyways.

Thanks for this information on the meds. It gives me a little more hope for possible treatments.
As for the mood swings that bodybuilders claim to get from Clomiphene. I am thinking they may be taking to much of the medicine. Bodybuilders tend to overdue it on whatever supplements they are using.But I will definitely keep this side effect in mind when I see the endo doctor.
