dhea

At age 33, After years of depression, anxiety, fatigue, weight gain, sleep problems, ed, etc. I convinced my doctor to test my hormones. I was specifically interested in my Cortisol levels due to prolonged profound amounts of physical anxiety. The results of what he tested were; Total...

VA didn't have a Dr for me at local clinic, result I got a bunch of test done! I was really struggling with a T dose of 200mg split daily and in anticipation of new bloods I lowered dose to 150mg a week for one week and then to 140mg a week, a game I have to play so VA wont cut my dose. However...

Wondering if this sleep benefit is only beneficial for those deficient/low on it. Anyone with normal dhea levels still see better sleep from taking dhea?

I’m curious as I have just begun taking 25mgs Pregnenolone from Empower pharmacy daily. I might be crazy but when I started DHEA I think my testosterone levels went up slightly. I’m wondering if I’ll have to lower my daily testosterone injection dose. Any thoughts or personal experience would be...

I'm on testosterone replacement therapy and DHEA. My doctor recommended the DHEA. I saw here DHEA "Don't use DHEA with testosterone. Combining DHEA and testosterone might cause symptoms such as low sperm count (oligospermia), enlarged breasts in men (gynecomastia) and the development of...

Currently I am taking 25 mg of dhea a day, this has resulted in my dhea-s levels increasing from 103 to 598 ug/dl (30.9 - 295.6 range). I measured dhea-s after about 8 weeks. The half-life of dhea-s is ~22 hours. Some questions? Is the level of DHEA-s in serum likely to stay about the same...

Hello everyone. I have been looking to get back on the TRT train after falling off the past few months. I am going to start doing my injections regularly and everything. However I want to know if its really worth it to try and tackle Thyroid and DHEA too? According to my results collected last...

For men that are not on TRT, doing a cycle with anabolic steroids/SARMS that do not aromatize (ANAVAR, PROVIRON, most SARMS) will lead to a substantial decrease of testosterone and correspondingly to estrogen. The drop in estrogen might be causing the drop in the good cholesterol HDL. I wonder...

Hi everyone, I would appreciate some input on a few questions: 1) The Tru T Calculator is something new to me that I've only seen since joining this site. What is the range used for free t here? I was on a protocol where I was taking 40mg every third day. This put my total T at 680. My...

value was 220, range was 196-440 some people say 500-600 is optimal, i bought 25mg caps of DHEA, wondering worth it to start? [ dont have photo of labs on me] next how does TRT effect DHEA levles? my DHEA_S Level was checked prior to starting TRT FYI on 3/16/19 as far as symptoms looking...

My doc suggested 25 mg DHEA at night for sleep. Last night I gave it a shot and slept pretty good. This morning I felt pretty groggy and all day long I have felt drowsy/down/flat/depressed. Is this due to the cortisol suppression from DHEA? I’m thinking maybe I’ll cut the dose down to 10 mg...

Just gonna leave this here . Answered so many questions that I’ve had as a man on HRT and how , if all, it affected pregnenolone and DHEA levels .

I am attempting a restart after a long and thoughtful discussion with my doc. I was advised to take pregnenolone and DHEA during the restart but I was under the impression that this would be suppressive to my HPTA? I always assumed supplementing those two were fine if on TRT, but suppressive if...

Guys question about DHEA. I'm currently taking 25 mg a day for the last 3 months, and it's only brought up my DHEA from 173 to 247. Not much at all. So the doc has decided I should try 75 mg a day. Do you think this dosage will be too high? As in high conversion to estrogen too? I've read around...

I forgot again and couldn't find searching if DHEA / Pregnenolone cream should be taken before morning before drawing blood. DHEA/Pregnenolone cream is mainly for thyroid performance (Reverse T3 on blood work) Last time I confirmed with Dr. Saya that DHEA/Pregnenolone cream should be taken on...

I started a 15mg Slow Released DHEA from Empower, about 5 days ago and wow! good mental and physical energy, my strength increased, my skin look better I think, and I feel more relaxed calm and sociable. I had such a great outcome from Pregnenolone and now DHEA, they both seem to have a profound...

DHEA: Does It Have Non-Hormonal Benefit? Monica Mollica explores that topic via Brinkzone and it's a very interesting read: DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) is most known for being a pro-hormone which in the body gets converted to testosterone and estrogen. It is a long held view that DHEA...

angry and aggressive. So I've never liked DHEA, used to use A LOT of it not knowing any better, pre-TRT because I knew I was having some manner of "problem". I'd take too much >50mg-100mg/D and and just be angry, aggressive, hot tempered, it was bad. But FF years later to now and despite this...

Hello all, I hope this sunday finds all of you doing well. I began having problems with my libido about 3 months ago. Cialis worked for me well since 2012 and now it's just not doing much at all, sometimes it gives a boost if I lay off it for a week or 2 but then it goes right back to nearly...

So for starters I apologize if this on the wrong forum. Secondly I looked up info on this and couldn’t really find anything. So my doctor told me to add 1000mg of calcium d glucarate daily to my routine. Well 2 days after taking it my nipples got real tender. I stopped for a week and it went...

For those on HCG monotherapy, I have heard Dr Crisler discuss how he adds DHEA to the protocol for those men. I have also read albeit more on the bro science side that Vit D is also needed for HCG to work. I dont doubt Dr Crislers advice so I will supplement DHEA, but what aspect of Vit D would...

If I have natural DHEA-S levels at the top end of the range, sometimes slightly over, is it physiologically impossible for my pregnenolone levels to be low? DHEA can only be made from pregnenolone, correct? So in order for my DHEA to be high, I must have good levels of pregnenolone, right? What...
