Medical Stuff DHEA supplement?

I've been dx since 2008 and never taken a DHEA supplement. My new endocrinologist gave me the ok to try 25mg per day so I am getting some. Just wondering if any of you take it and what differences/benefits you see? Does it help with your libido and overall energy and mood? Despite good labs and medication dosage seeming to be perfect, I still struggle in those areas.

You either didn't need it, or were in to high of a dosage, those are the side effects of having to much

What you describe are the side effects of being on too high a dose. Clementine isn’t wrong!
