Why does 100mg oral pregnenolone spike my libido beyond belief?

[QUOTE="Jerajera, post: 235601, member: 40995"] I had the same experience with DHEA. 10mg/day of pharma SR DHEA initially made me feel amazing. Driven, mental clarity, etc...only to eventually make me ridiculously bloated and incredibly impatient and aggressive. Interestingly, it seems the DHEA also significantly raised my Free T and nothing else. I went from 25ng/dL FT to 40ng/dL while changing absolutely nothing else to my protocol. There's actually a research paper showing a significant increase in Free T (but not Total T) from 25mg/day of DHEA in young and older men. I'm not sure whether the increase in mental clarity, drive and energy, was from the increase in Free T and FT:E2 ratio, or from the DHEA itself. A lot of people talk about neurosteroids as if their only value is the other hormones they convert into, but those neurosteroids have inherent effects on brain chemistry independent of their metabolites. I'm also not sure whether the DHEA itself got me bloated or whether it was the very high Free T. My E2 interestingly enough didn't budge when my FT went up 15ng/dL. This stuff is so complex it makes my head spin. I'm going to try IR DHEA instead of SR and see whether I can find a sustainable sweet spot that way [/QUOTE]
