Think my Endo has given me too high dose of DHEA

Think my Endo has given me too high dose of DHEA ?

I normally have 15mg - ( from another dr prescription- my Endocrinologist has written 50 ! ?

I ve queried it with Pharmacy - who has adjusted it to 15 mg s - haven’t had a reply from Endo yet -

More guessing & checking as usual -

I take 25mgs as prescribed by my Endo, she said that higher doses may give you acne & greasy hair. Fortunately I haven't had that!

Ah interesting - I’ve always has 15 - but I do get hair loss & slightly hairy face ! ( am I giving you a bad impression of my looks ! Ha ha )

Wish we could just trust the doctors ?

Pharmacist said “50 is usually for the men !”

Hi, Avidreader (great screen name!)

I would be grateful if you could PM me about the pharmacy you are getting your DHEA from, please. I'm having trouble locating a reliable supplier, and it sounds as though yours have their heads screwed on right.

Thanks in anticipation.
