[QUOTE="Dr Justin Saya MD, post: 70889, member: 12687"] Ah so the plot thickens, Esq. That's certainly an unexpected curveball! I know you listed taking a multivitamin on your initial HQ, but I've never seen a basic multi with rhodiola and ashwaganda...that's very unusual. Interestingly, I believe we have now found the culprit for your persistently high DHEA-S levels even prior to our initial chat. I've seen a few cases of a robust DHEA-S response to the adaptogens (particularly rhodiola) concurrent with suppression/lowering of cortisol. How long have you been on that multi? This actually changes everything at this point. You mentioned picking up some separate licorice root - that's exactly what I would do at this point and discontinue the ashwaganda and rhodiola (I know this is a complete change of plans, but there is new information now that we weren't previously privy to). I would want your next salivary cortisol and DHEA-S test OFF of the ashwaganda and rhodiola now that we know you were actually TAKING them at the time of your previous sample. [/QUOTE]
