Just looking at the ref ranges you're pretty low across the board. Im going through testing now I can't compare our numbers at the moment but Dr Saya has me on DHEA first thing in the AM but I don't feel an improvement. I'm doing a new test this weekend so we'll see where it goes from there, I'm really not clear on HC and dosing it.

You are probably not sleep well and enough. Your morning cortisol should be higher.

Vince when I first started DHEA I felt great even with a low test level of 197. I took 50mg per day in am and recently switched to split dose with the advice of Dr. Chrisler.

Nelson I do wake up multiple times throughout the night which is not good. Any mild supps that could help?

Also, 3 mg Melatonin before dinner.

I have but I tried them for anxiety and mild depression. I'm going to go back on them and see if my sleep patterns change. I have a 5htp in my pocket as we speak! What dose do you recommend for 5htp - 100mgs? I will add the melatonin as well. Do you think better sleep will make a significant increase in my am cortisol? I do not have that energetic refreshed feeling like I used to! Some days I feel like a could tackle the world and other days the world tackles me!
