[QUOTE="chaps, post: 12437, member: 2509"] My doctor wanted me to try a high dose of dhea (250mg) for 4 weeks then taper down mainly to help with depression. I tried this for a two days and even more tired then normal, so I cut it back to 150mg, still exhausted, cut to 100, 75,50. I eventually figured out I only seem to be able to handle 5mg at a time, anymore and I think it's lowering my cortisol too much, as it is i'm already dealing with hypothyroidism and adrenal fatigue. Listening to a super human radio podcast with Dr Crisler I tried some transdermal pregnenolone, 45mg along with 1/4 a of a 25mg tablet dhea (6.25mg) twice daily. I felt good for 2 days, then started getting bloated, slowly kept taking away pregnenolone, even one pump (15mg) has caused this bloating. I even tried the MLM pregnenolone and 12.5mg still bloated me. What is frustrating about this is the combination has made a DRAMATIC effect on my mood and overall well being. Literally in a week I ran into family members and they mentioned how much "brighter" my mood seemed. When I say bloat I mean, literally in 10 days I measured my stomach and waist both were up 2" I mean bad bloat. I had cortisol saliva testing done 5 months ago and it showed stage 2 adrenal fatigue with low morning cortisol, I've also had blood cortisol testing a few weeks ago that just showed my morning cortisol slightly below normal, I believe it came back at 540 and the doc said 600 was in range. Has anyone had this experience before? [/QUOTE]
