DHEA and Insulin

[LandofMilkandHoney]

Anyone know how the former impacts the latter?

Per Dr.'s recommendation, I took 25 mg/day for about a week. Stopped when I noticed my energy level was waaaayyy too high and I had trouble relaxing into the moment. Since going off, I've had muscle spasms/small twitches that last for hours almost immediately after eating something sweet, e.g. had 2 figs after midnight last night and was so jazzed up I couldn't get to sleep 'til almost 4 am. What's the deal?

Did Peat recommend 25mg/day?

I haven't seen that figure mentioned anywhere.

What I do recall seeing is something like 1-3mg per day which I think is in line with what our body produces.

How long have you been off the DHEA? The effects you're feeling could just be lingering side effects and it may take a while for the DHEA to leave the body.

No, my GI doc's recommendation.

I've been off since last Wednesday. Also noticed my memory is worse and I have little to no libido. Bit of a scare, I must say. How long do you think it will take?
