Hello, this is my first post on this forum and I've read some threads about the importance of Pregnenolone (&DHEA) when on TRT.
Things I wish to improve the most is anxiety/depression via Allopregnanolone I think.
Since I switched TRT protocols (from gel to injections) and my blood isnt fully saturated yet, I still experience "low T" symptoms.
Which manifest as following: anxiety, paranoia, obsessive negative thoughts (shame, grief, regret, "ptsd flashback like") low motivation, low libido, facial tics.
All of these symptoms already improved a bit, but they still get worse later in the day.
I feel the best after waking up in the morning.
So I bought 10mg Pregnenolone capsules since i wanted to start low.
Orally there isnt much of a noticable effect, if any.
30mg? maybe a bit. 50mg has a definite effect which I would describe as enhanced colors, something mental (cant put my finger on it) and a calming effect=.
I also tried it sublingual, from 10-30mg. Its definitely way stronger. 30mg sublingual is a big dose though and the mental effect was strong. It was also very calming but also sedating.
Should I try out the 100mg orally every 3 days/ 3 times per week next?
If I understand it right I want to take the preg orally to favor the prog -> alloprog pathway? And its a bellshaped response curve so too less or too much is both a negative effect?
Now I also worry about hair loss. Which started when I got on TRT. Ive read low preg doses are more androgenic, so worse for my hair?
Is there a chance that pregnenolone could actually help my hair on TRT by having 5-ar inhibition effects?
Also, would it be wise to add DHEA?
thanks in advance
