I'm doing a pre-TRT protocal to get my levels up naturally before looking at TRT options. My doc suggested a few things, one being 25mg of DHEA nightly for 4-6 weeks as my E2 and DHEA were a bit on the low side:

ESTRADIOL 17 < OR = 39 pg/mL IG
DHEA SULFATE 148 61-442 mcg/dL

He said to take it at night, and I told him I've read it keeps some dudes up a night and they take it during the day. Just seeing what you all suggest. I plan to take 10mg this evening about an hour before bed.

Thoughts? Experiences? Suggestions on this protocol?

I have taken it over a few different stretches of time. Most recently, I realized it was making me extraordinarily fatigued during the day. It’s hard to believe I was taking this in the past and probably was really tired and didn’t know why. Because of this, I would generally take it at night.

That said, I have also noticed that it absolutely destroys my mood and puts me in a dark place. It’s too bad, because I want it to work.

Dhea for me is weird. Even 25 mg a day makes me break out in acne, and makes me very angry and snappy. And nothing positive. So I stopped.

I also take it at night, I don't know if it makes a difference with me but some people say it helps you sleep.

I'm interested in seeing what results you get. I believe when a man is not a TRT and supplements with DHEA your estrogen will increase but your testosterone will go down. You will convert your testosterone into estrogen.

Please post your results.

I have to take it in the am otherwise it will keep my brain too active at night and disrupt sleep. I was recently using a SR version in the am, and it was still disturbing my sleep.

Generally, adrenal's hormones should be taken in the am

After just 4 days, I am stopping. I tried morning, night, and my mood tanked, really bad. I am willing to try it again, but not right now.

I appreciate all of y'alls input.

@Vince , thanks for always replying to my posts. This is a learning journey. I'm going back to my doc to look at our other options for my pre-trt protocol: boron, b-complex every other day, deep sleep/more routine, back off heavy lifting for now, de-stress completely.
