Irritable and anxiety between doses

[Will Brink]

Got it and yes I do see the difference. But in this specific thread we were discussing a particular case and possible association, not a global blanket statement about all users of DHEA, seems like that's where a lot of the confusion was.

Understood, my only issue is the statement "DHEA has been shown to be an anxiety inducer" and that's simply not true and very different than saying "some men feel they experience increased anxiety with DHEA but no studies to fate have found such an effect" which covers the anecdotal nature of the claim. That's my only issue, full stop.

I find it interesting that you've never encountered someone recently put on DHEA experiencing new onset anxiety, I wonder if it is a dosing or complementary protocol effect. Worth looking into for sure.

Based on what you've studied: What do you see as DHEAs role in TRT? Do you typically include DHEA as part of a standard protocol or only when blood tests indicate a deficiency?

Thanks,

Only when blood tests indicate a deficiency. I'd include DHEA if labs showed DHEA (as DHEA-s) was low just as I would for T or other hormones. TRT is known to lower DHEA - and low DHEA levels associated with many things we all wish to avoid - so it's worth tracking along with the usual suspects of hormones, etc. and adding to the protocol. It can be quite a mood enhancer in women and act as mild TRT in them.

I started a new thread with lab results in case anyone interested.
Thank you
