Hi KARAsweet,
Just wanted to add my two cents regarding DHEA. I am a 38 year old female, slight build like yourself, and I tried DHEA for the positive side effects that it gives men. I was on 25 mg. daily for about 1 month without any noticeable difference. I increased my dosage to 50 mg. daily, and experienced problems with my cycle. It lasted three weeks. I discontinued the DHEA, and eventually I returned to normal. I asked a nutritionist and my physician about this, and neither knew why this happened. They thought that it may have something to do with DHEA breaking down into estrogen. I would give the Celexa a chance. I have been on it for a month, and have no complaints.
