[QUOTE="Anonymon, post: 206478, member: 42608"] Sorry if I mispoke somewhere, I’m still on the 50mg pregnenolone cream in the morning on my thighs. Regarding the metabolism of progesterone, someone a year or two ago recommended the cream to me as he was trying to get his levels up and deal with water retention from TRT, but said that the cream alone through the skin got metabolized into different things that could calm you but wouldn’t raise the levels he was looking for. How true that is I don’t know, but I did get very different results from putting it on my skin vs specifically my scrotum. My theory about my odd reactions to thyroid meds is that something in or about me is continually downregulating my thyroid hormone conversion, so adding more onto it always helps initially until that causes further downregulation. The main issues I face actually get better at first when adding any thyroid med, then much worse after a week or so. Currently experimenting with moderately dosed rhodiola there. I’ve always taken rhodiola at 250mg, but taking more or a better brand characteristically helps me a lot, then can’t be tolerate because it ruins my sleep. This time I’m trying heavier sleep aids and such to see if I can make it work. A physician I’ve worked with had similar issues as I do for different reasons, and after taking everything you could take, found the most success in MAO inhibitors and came off most everything else. Rhodiola works in part as an MAO A and B inhibitor, which may be the cause of the benefits I got from a more moderate dose of it, as well as the detriments of it ruining my already fragile sleep. It would also account for why I can make almost anything protocol change work in the short term but not long term, as pretty much anything stimulating will help in the short term (like say thyroid meds or progesterone) then cause downregulation or a return to baseline in the long term.
