I have always noticed DHT-like effects from 10 - 20 mg of pregnenolone. Increased strength even without muscle gains, increased hair shedding, lower voice, and dramatically increased libido. 30 mg causes too much sedation, so I have never taken more than this. Even 10 - 20 mg taken three nights in a row has given me a benzodiazepine feeling the next morning, so I have only ever been able to take it two consecutive nights. I want to try again and see if this still holds true.
I have seen that it converts mostly into progesterone and from there into allopregnanolone, but could some of it be converting down the line into DHT in my case? Or is the increased progesterone promoting conversion of testosterone down the 5-ar pathway instead of the aromatase pathway? Progesterone itself does not do anything for me except make me feel drugged even at a low dose, so I never take it anymore.
