User Reviews for dhea

Although I take type 2 diabetes medicine. I take 1 after breakfast. My sugar is usually from 104 to 127 when I wake up after breakfast I take DHEA and my reading is between 89 and 97 and I stay regulated all day.

During annual menopausal blood screening, my DHEA was very low. Didn't even know they check for this hormone. Was told by my P.A. that I needed to take 25mg daily. When I ask why, the answer was "Without it, you should have no energy. It's the mother of all hormones."

187lb-DHEA 50mg (25am/25pm)+ 1 triple strength 1400mg fishoil (omega3/900mg).I also take 200mg DIM which reduces bad estrogens that are related to risk of prostate cancer. I have of late taken these 2 DIMS with snack at 8/9pm along with 400mg beta sitosterol which has reduced 90% my Episodes of Nocturnal Urination Frequency or as my wife says ENUF! . The DIM supplement has also helped me with any soar throats colds or sinus infections. For these 100mg every 6hrs for three days then down to 100mg am/100mg pm for 3 or 4 more days. Also took for abscessed tooth . Dentist was amazed at the result when I gave him back his script. This is an update on the DHEA I had been using it 4 months,now 8 months. Things are great. I want to add that I'm now taking 100mg am/ 100mgs pm coq-10 for pre hypertension which could partially be due to the DHEA. Thanks Webmd and thanks for the feed back from all you Webees.Read More Read Less

I safer from depression for 14 years. I got to the point that antidepressant did not work. Try to seek help with my MD . he added antipsychotic med.andtoled me to loose 30 # than my depression will go away . I become dengerous to myself because I was sleeping 14 to 20 hours a day. I got in truble at work than... I changed MD . She added to my current antidep. med. another one and also DHEA . I am back myself . It worked in 2 weeks. My new MD saved my life.

I have had Addison's Disease for over 40 years and have supplemented with DHEA for about 5 years now. Initially tried 50 mg but developed mild acne and some irritability (racing feeling). Reduced dose to 25 mg which removed these symptoms. Slight improvement in overall energy levels obtained but well worth taking. Blood levels of DHEA are monitored by my endocrinologist Can't buy in Canada so hard to come by.

Im 44 and started taking DHEA about 6 months ago. I got a huge jump in energy, libido, and my memory has never been sharper. I also started lifting weights again and have made amazing gains at the gym in a short time. I have nothing bad to say about it at all!

I weigh 187lbs and have been taking 50mg DHEA a day for 4 months. Before I had very bad tendinitis in my knees an shoulders, loss of strength and stamina,and tingling and numbness in arms/hands every morning. After three days all symptoms were gone !!! I have tried dropping the dose to 25mg but some soreness and morning numbness returned so I returned to 50mg. I'm an active 60 year old and now I can walk 18 to 27 holes without the old aches and pains. I really feel like I'm 30 again. Thank you WEBMD AND ALL OF YOU WHO SHARE WHAT YOU HAVE LEARNED. GOD BLESS YOU ALL.Read More Read Less

keep waking up erect...never before. My wife noticed and now I'm getting backrubs in the morning. Also noticed increased volume! Muscle strength better and gut is getting smaller.

62 yrs now. taken 25 mg for 5 yrs. feel a little stronger, easier to maintain a 34 waist. erect every morning. still hike and work out.

With DHEA my libido came back to life but after a few months my hair was falling out by the handfulls.I have had much better success so far with the grandmother Of all hormones Pregnenolone.. the cream version.

commenced DHEA for ostoporosis after several other prescribed meds caused severe side effects. really shouldn't have taken it, having already had episodes of 'atrial tachycardia', but thought 5mg daily to be very low dose (all the literature i'd found suggested 25-50mg up to 200mg daily)--wrong! developed progressively worsening tachycardia and severe dyspnea on light exertion--but didn't recognize DHEA as likely cause for some time. and in interim, had stress test to rule out heart disease : ( DCd supplement, and NMST normal. now waiting for side effects to resolve. FAIL!!!Read More Read Less

I have Lupus and feel so tired all the time, I hope this helps. I have had a hysterectomy too so my hormones are gone. I am on my second day of 25mgs and I feel more alert today. I really have nothing to lose trying this as the other drugs for Lupus are awful and I don't take them anymore. I didn't see any reviews from people with auto immune disorders but hopefully I will have continued good results to report.

Was prescribed 10 mg of DHEA to help elevate hormones which are all low -menopausal symtoms are insomnia and migraines - after 6 weeks my hair started falling out big time! Did notice that I was a bit strong physically -obviously got off supplement immediately - will be interesting to see how long it takes the hair growth to normalize!

moody,crying alot

within 2 weeks my wife noticed erections while I slept. First time she woke me up half way through.

Caused my hair to thin

I'm in my mid 30 s and I started taking dhea to help boost my testosterone levels my overall energy is increased and helped with my depression..the only side effect is slight high blood pressure since I've been taking it...but other than that I feel energetic again :-)

I have DHEA in my bioidentical hormone troche, which has estrogen , testosterone and Dhea. I was low on testosterone so they put me on that extra of DHEA.I do have high cholestral and osteopina. I think some days it makes me feel irritable. Has helped with fibromyalgia, less pain. low dose of 2.5 MG daily in troche placed in cheek in mouth to dissolve. works great.

Saw this product in a magazine as a possible use for restoring pubic hair growth. Menopause stopped my hair growth 'down there', and this product restored it after a couple of months. I continue to take it, 50 mg a day. Have seen no adverse side effects.

43 years old and started taking as a supplement to increase stamina/energy. I didn't notice much for the first two to three weeks but it kicked in after that. Feel better, exercise is more fulfilling, more sexual drive, feel 'sharper' mentally. I am in my eighth week of taking 50mg per day and do experience some mania (quick to frustration and anger) but that may be psychosomatic. I will continue until I run out of my first batch of pills then do a study comparing baseline (pre-DHEA therapy), with DHEA therapy, and after. I may update when complete. Read More Read Less
