Hi Larry,
Thank you for your response.
> In essence, I've been working one month on, one month off.
Given your posting frequency lately, I assume you are currently off. When do you go back on?
> The month off has been characterized by profound fatigue, cognitive and memory problems, irritabliity, mood decline.
Have you ever had your cortisol levels measured?
As an aside, some of johnj's symptoms are somewhat similar to yours. Maybe there is a CFS component to John's dx (as you have alluded to in prior posts to John). In John's case, however, his "CFS-like" symptoms seem to be caused by the TCA he is taking.
> Ya, I know. Hormones are potent. Hormones are tricky. Still, 50 mg of DHEA isn't going to do too much adverse, even if you didn't need it.
YIKES! 50 mg?! I was thinking about 5 mg! In his book titled "Mind Boosters", Ray Sahelian, M.D. urges individuals to use the least amount possible and to take breaks from use. But Larry my real question for you was do you have an opinion regarding the idea that there may be some efficacy in using DHEA supplementation to bring cortisol in balance (as implied in the previously posted article)?
Thanks Larry!
