clomid
by vicki, Aug 30, 1999 12:00AM
I have had 3 miscarriages, then two almost healthy births, then a stillbirth in Nov. of 1997. I have been on clomid for 6 months. I am 38 years old and desperatly want another baby. My clomid prescription has no more refills. I see my doctor in 10 days. I have started my period yesterday and normally would go ahead and call for another refill order from my doctor but, I have been a basket case on this med. I know it is common, but I am diagnosed DID (Disassociative Identity Disorder), PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder)and have been suicidal on it. Will I ovulate without it? I am on the 50mg dose. I do not know if I stand a better chance of concieving without it, since I may be calmer and it does stay in the system a number of weeks, or if I will ruin my chance this next month if I do not take it. Thank you for your help.

Dear Vicki,
According to the Physician’s Reference Desk (PDR), Clomid or cloimephene citrate is a nonsteroidal ovulatory stimulant used for the treatment of ovulatory dysfunction in women desiring pregnancy. In clinical trials, successful therapy characterized by pregnancy occurred in approximately 30% of these patients.
Patients on Clomid may experience psychiatric adverse effects such as anxiety, irritabilty, mood changes, psychosis. In light of your present psychiatric condition, a re-evaluation with your Obstetrician is necessary to weigh the risks and benefits of this type of treatment.
