Added 50 mg of Dhea on Sunday! And I have been sleeping like crazy,I feel a lot more aggressive in the gym,and improved mood! But my dick still feels numb and dosent stay hard for long, my sex drive is non existent! Should I lower or up Dhea dose heard of people getting better results with 100 mg! I am getting my e2 sensitive check on Monday! I’ve been on this protocol for 8 weeks and still no improvements in libido! 62.5 mg e3d!
 
That's a large dose of DHEA. Even 25 mg makes serum levels supraphysiological for many. Estrone is probably also very high at that dose. Long-term effects are uncertain. I would opt for a lower dose.
 
Too early. Placebo effect is strong during the first two weeks for anything we take. DHEA has very contradictory data. Most guys feel no difference. But we are all different!

DHEA use in men

I don't think these two week changes are all placebo effects.

Our bodies have so many feedback loops that any supplement/hormones taken can have short term effects that later go away because our bodies adapt to the change by increasing or decreasing other hormones/enzymes, etc.

Even antibiotics can cause a growth of antibiotic resistant bacteria, it doesn't mean there was a placebo effect, living organisms adapt in ways we don't always expect.
 
I felt nothing on 25, 50 or 75. Only thing I noticed is since I started taking it at night with 100 mg pregnenolone I have morning wood almost every day.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
