Hey guys,

I have a story for all you considering taking DHEA/pregnenolone... So i bought 6 months worth of extenze to up libido to max potential while training. I felt great for these 6 months but nothing insane yet I still continued to take the pills (1 each day). When i came off of them I realized I had no morning wood and no libido. I have had 5 blood works over the last 8 months and originally my estrogen was high along with SHBG... total estrogen was at 180 (scale <130) and SHBG 49 (scale 10-50).. SO i waited it out and thought everything would just go back to normal as advised by the doctor (I've now seen two UROS 1 GP and 1 Endo).. The next labs that I have had taken all show that my estrogen is back to normal but my SHBG went even higher! was at 63, 56, 54, 47, then back up to 56... My libido and morning erections are still very weak , which is completely different from the rest of my previous life. My testosterone is high at 850, 950, 1044, 825... I just don't understand why I have an elevated SHBG.. I checked thryroid - normal, liver enzymes - normal, Estrogen - normal, DHEA-s is 300 (scale 100- 530)... Any input????

I think you ran DHEA too long man. You need a break from that stuff.
 
Only time DHEA works for me is when I go OFF it. And then ... like four days after my last dose ... BAM! I'm insanely sex crazed!

I have no clue why that is.
 
I'm totally at a loss because DHEA is such a weak androgen.. I can't believe that it has done anything permanent to my genetic makeup but my SHBG is totally out of control and taking up all my free test. My last blood test resulted in SHBG 56 and TT 850 which yielded a FAI of like 13.4 or something.. No morning wood/nocturnals - had a rigiscan to prove it.. i don't know what the hell is going on. Has anybody taken DHEA for extended periods of time???
