Adding DHEA to trt?

[shavas]

Can anyone tell me if its worth adding DHEA to trt? I just bought some today as I've read a little bit about it but having a hard time finding specifics with how well it goes with trt. Currently on test 100mg/week, arimidex and hcg. my current test results has T at 900, E2 28 and prolactin 4.2, TSH 2.1. All these lab results I am happy to keep them where they are, just wondering if DHEA would add any helpful benefits or if there are some downsides to taking it. Thanks in advance

Dht supplementation increases circulating levels of androstenedione, however there is no increase in circulating free testosterone. It won't hurt, but probably won't help.

As a stand alone it help me. No blood work done but I had more energy and was aggressive . The down side was my nipples looked bigger which means high estrogen . With your numbers I would not do it. Don't mess up a good thing.

Thanks guys. Yeah it seems like the increase in estrogen that could result from it would likely outweigh any possible benefits. If there's any guys here that have taken with trt I would love to hear what there experiences were. It's cheap enough so I don't feel too bad wasting money on it lol

adding DHEA can keep other hormone pathways open that may not be, especially when doing HRT.

I read somewhere that TRT causes DHEA levels to drop below normal. Can anyone confirm if this is true?
