I have been using DHEA for over a month, 50 mgs every day or two, I am a little nervous about dosage, from what I've read you should get some fancy blood test after a month or so on DHEA to determine blood level, and I haven't given the first thought to setting this in motion. So I stay at what I feel is a minimum therapeutic approach. My reaction is that I don't perceive any response or reaction to the supplement, however (coincidentally?) this last month has been the best I've ever had in my entire PD career,numerous friends have commented unsolicited that I look better than ever, etc. Don't have a clue whether it's related to the DHEA. After all, I've been known to have solid good response to placebos! To answer the question of energy picker upper, I don't think DHEA has affected my energy level. I have had better response to that problem from NADH, and oddly enough those little green seaweed chlorophyll pills. They really helped! But I believe that I have been seriously amino acid deficient due to being a vegan with less than perfect eating habits (I still think sugar is a food group). Happy to conjecture further if needed!
