[QUOTE="ratbag, post: 66288, member: 972"] FeelingLost, I was in a similar position with depression, anxiety. panic attacks etc. I'll list what I felt helped the most but I'll touch on DHEA first since this is your topic. Ironically I just had an appointment with my MD and my DHEA-S was over range 12.1 (1.4-8.0 umol/L) I had been taking 50mg DHEA daily as previously it was below range. Initially I thought I'd have to reduce my daily intake of DHEA but I read that Dr. Crisler suggests going over range. Remember lab ranges are not optimal ranges for folks on HRT. Then in my doctors appointment my MD said the same thing. He follows what that Belguim hormone specialist does (Hertzog) and he claims that optimal DHEA is 15. So I stayed at 50mg daily and that definitely helps in my well-being and feeling good. I'll share what I think helped me the most. I've suffered from depression/anxiety/panic attacks since a head injury when I was 8 yrs old. I didn't socialise because I was uncomfortable in most social situations. Because I'm hypo-pituitary and being on all hormones. Over time it took a while to get dialed in. I no longer have any depression or anxiety or panic attacks. I feel calm and relaxed. I don't get rattled like I used to and even when something bad happens it pretty much rolls off my back. I now socialise all the time and feel most at home even when talking with people I don't know. This is a huge change from what I was like before. The hormones that helped me the most to get there was TRT (45mg E3D injection) Then after reading so much about HCG from so many physicians stating that it also helps well-being etc I tried it and sure enough that was a big improvement for me... then I started DHEA and that too helped big time. All together I'm now a different person then when I started TRT. I'm always in a good mood and it would seem that there is nothing negative left in me. I also keep my FT3 near the top of range. I'm not sure this helps me because it's the 2nd hormone they put me on after cortisol. And I still had depressions anxiety etc. In hindsight I'd say that HCG and DHEA were the ones that fixed my depression/anxiety the most but I doubt that would have worked without TRT. Hope this helps, P.S, when my estradiol was in the 60's I did not feel well. I think you'll find if you can get that down to under 30 you'll feel an improvement. [/QUOTE]
