In reply to DHEA : cortisol ratio - possible link to panic, posted by Jimmyboy on September 14, 2009, at 9:01:42
Hi Jimmy,
I agree that 50mg is way too much for anyone I have found so far., and yet it is the dose they seem to prescribe esp for males.
I found for myself 7.5mg was too much and I'm better on less, but I only take it occasionally at present and usually only 2.5mg to 3.75mg once a day at the most(it's mixed in with my multi). I'm female males could probably take twice as much:) Speaking/chatting etc with many females over the years the anecdotal evidence is 25mg is way too much in females. All sorts of problems caused, but I forget what now!
Re prolactin, I listened to a presentation of some studies on prolactin /cortisol I think in birds and aggressive behaviour etc(destruction of nest?)- sorry I also forget this(about 6 years ago).
I do vaguely recall that prolactin is a desired response to the high cortisol? I'll try to do a quick search for the study but don't hold much hope in locating. I found it interesting as nothing else had touched on the subject beforehand.. but yes its linked in there for sure!
