> I've been looking at this bottle of DHEA trying to get up the courage to try it. I did have some tests done. Both cortisol and DHEA are extremely low and my doc says my adrenals are exhausted.
>
> I tried pregnanalone and I swear on the very first day it made me feel worse than I already was. It scared me enough that I didn't retry it.

> The thing that scares me is that I have read reports from other people where they actually got real depressed almost right away from DHEA or got bad anxiety or something weird. I mean, I know mileage varies and stuff happens. Maybe I could just take a 25mg cap and dump most of it out and try just a little bit and go from there.

> I guess with DHEA some people do real well and some do real bad, and it often does not matter what their DHEA levels were to begin with.Pregnanalone and DHEA helped my sex drive and energy but aggravated my insomnia. If you have a good doctor you can monitor you levels to put you in an optimal range. Most of all, do what feels best.
