Headaches and mild visual fuzz after starting enclomiphene – anyone else?

I decided to try enclomiphene about a month ago because I wanted to keep my testosterone up without shutting down my natural production. 5 mg each morning, taken with water after breakfast. For the first few days I felt fine, a bit more energy in the mornings, nothing remarkable.

Around day five I began noticing a dull headache that would show up in the afternoon and sometimes linger into the evening. It wasn’t severe, just enough to make me reach for water and a short break from the screen. A couple of days later I also had a brief moment where my vision seemed a little fuzzy, like looking through a slightly dirty window, but it cleared after I rested my eyes for ten minutes.

25 mg twice a day, and the headaches became less frequent and the visual fuzz didn’t return. I’m not sure if it was the enclomiphene itself, dehydration, or just my body adjusting, but splitting the dose and making sure I drink enough water throughout the day seemed to help. Has anyone else had similar mild head or visual symptoms when they started enclomiphene? Did you find a tweak that made it go away?
