Hey Larry,
> I took 50 mg DHEA on arising, yesterday. I had a substantial increase in mental activity/acuity, and moderate insomnia once again. Frankly, I get a similar reaction to betaine. I didn't take DHEA today. I did take some NADH (sublingual this time), and the combination seems to be quite effective. I feel exceedingly sharp, and calm.
Thank you very much for the update. To avoid being a pest, I promise to limit the number of my questions and minimize the number of my posts to you soliciting information. At the same time, however, I'm very interested in the results of your DHEA/Enada NADH trial and I'd love to have a short "daily briefing" regarding your anecdotal experience over the next few weeks. Further, your brief daily documentation would be a worthwhile contribution to the PB archives.
My current cocktail (600 mg/day of Lithobid and 2.5 mg per every four days of Enada NADH) is currently working so well that I do not want to run the risks involved in trying to fix something that is not broken. Having said that, I am itching to try a low-dose (5 mg/day) DHEA add-on. As an aside, I would like to get a cortisol test prior to beginning my DHEA trial (if any) to provide baseline cortisol level data.
Larry, do you think that your "moderate insomnia" could be resolved for you by reducing your DHEA dosage?
Also, do you think that johnj might benefit from a low-dose of DHEA taken in the mornings? On the downside, it might interfere with his sleep (at least initially) and/or it might cause some anxiety/irritability for John. On the upside, it might give him the energy and mental clarity that he wants and needs.
