Is it possible to feel results from 5mg DHEA in just a few days?
I'm taking 100mg of pregnenolone every few days or so on top of this. But I was doing pregnenolone for some weeks before DHEA and did not feel these results.
Only just started DHEA a few days ago. I feel a bit more upbeat, and one thing I've noticed is my sex drive is way up. It's strange though. Not in a frustrated, horny way. Just like, more energy and women seem a lot more enticing all of a sudden.
Like a feeling of wanting to live my life more. Strangely enough I also picked up my guitar and recorded some stuff for the first time in a very, very long time, and felt like I used to feel when I was maybe 18 or 19 and super excited about it (I'm 29 now).
Perhaps the sensation of an elevated sex drive is hand-in-hand with that feeling of wanting to live my life more. Makes me think of my ex gf and my increased desire for sex right now feels hand-in-hand with wanting to do stuff, like go on a hike, cook together; sex is just a part of that picture. It's more than that, it's really craving a connection.
But not in a lonely way. Like my head is just filled with stuff I'd love to do if I had the opportunity. Been craving companionship so a lot of those thoughts are revolving around the idea of a relationship, but I am also feeling a little more inspired to call up some of my guy friends and go hang out and do something.
So I guess just feeling a little more social and upbeat? Weird. I think it's only been 3 days since I started the DHEA at 5mg a day (5mg capsules, not divided doses).
Placebo, or is this stuff legit?
EDIT: It's important to mention that I have been EXTREMELY depressed lately. Forcing myself to work out, and eat as well as I can, but I have been thinking a lot about suicide lately, and just feeling like I'm in absolute misery with no point to doing anything with my life and just wishing I could die, or just feeling too tired and miserable to even want to die, and days just passing by with no joy at all.
Lost all interest in literally everything and just feeling like I'm already dead. Like a walking corpse, a husk of a human being.
So to feel like this, and have more positive thoughts, is a tremendous change. Has taken me by surprise and the only thing I've changed lately is the addition of 5mg DHEA starting from a few days ago. I'd say I really noticed feeling better perhaps 1 day ago, and I can't really remember a single day in the past 6+ months where I felt uplifted or upbeat or happy like this. It's early, for sure, but even though I just started this supplement, I can't remember the last time I felt like this. So I wouldn't attribute it to a random mood swing.
