DHEA-My Experience-Any others?

Posted by Tom Twilight on March 25, 2007, at 4:06:30

Hey all

I'm sorry-I know this belongs on the alternative board-Its just there's more trafic on this board!

Anyways I tried using a Transdermal (aborbed through the skin) DHEA formulation.

The good thing was I experienced a Noticable increase in energy & sex drive

The bad thing was I experienced a sharp increase in Anxiety!

No more DHEA for me I suppose.
Anyway I was wondering if anyone had a similar experience?
Also is 7-Keto DHEA or Pregenalone likely to be any better?

I had a similar experience. More energy, maybe more motivation, but was more tightly wound, also. The main problem, however, was that it prevented me from sleeping. No more DHEA for me, either.

I experienced daily panic attacks for about 8 months which I thought were due to a trial of Topamax which induced metabolic acidosis. My new PDoc ordered a DHEA level and it came back high (hmmmm...). I don't know whether this elevated level was causative or a result of the stress/panic. A CAT scan to rule out an adrenal tumor was negative.

I'd talk to an Internist who could clarify things for you. Increased DHEA levels can be associated with lots of problems, cardiac and otherwise, the claims of "rejuvenation" notwhithstanding. I'm definitely going to pursue why my DHEA is up.

Good luck!
