I wouldn't recommend the clomiphene(clomid). Many bodybuilders use it during/after a cycle of steroids to maintain/regain their testicular mass and function. 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.

Taking an anti-estrogen can help to increase your natural testosterone levels. Nolvadex is the most popular I believe, among bodybuilders/athletes anyways. I'd have to jog my memory for some other anti-estrogen compounds that are useful but I know Nolvadex is a good choice.

Testosterone and estrogen are invertly associated, so when one goes up the other usually goes down.
