You definitely should talk to your doctor before starting any DHEA supplements. The last thing you want to do is raise your DHEA-S level too high. I'd probably ask the doctor to run a DHEA-S level test to make sure it's ok to take it.
Do a google search...you'll find a ton of info. Just be aware who is giving the info. I've recently learned a lot about DHEA because my endo and I found out that my levels are borderline-could-be-an-adrenal-tumor (over 2x the normal limit). Definitely hasn't improved my mood! And mine isn't from any supplements. hahaha! If all the hype is correct, I should be the happiest/least depressed person out there. ummmmm...nope! :-P
I'd be curious to see what your doctor recommended.
