Hi Dawncam - I'm still not sure why you want to try DHEA if you are already using testosterone? What is it you are not happy with? Also remind me where you are in menopause and how old (sorry I can't keep everyone's stories in my head!!!)? Sporadic pieces of research (especially those carried out on mice like the last link) are very interesting but should not be used as the basis on which to try out something! Surely your specialist gynae's advice is the one to go on as s/he will be totally up to date with research and what's what?
Having said that, if you take it instead of testosterone, at a very low dose and you are already taking oestrogen, and progestogen to protect the womb, and if it has been shown not to have any ill effects then maybe no harm in giving it a try for a few months? If I hadn't been given testosterone I might have been tempted although I would always be very cautious about products which are not standardised and which don't have trials to back them up re dosage and long term effects!!
There is some information - this one is probably out of date now as I think there have been some more favourable studies since then - but it's the meta-analyses and reviews of current studies that are the ones to look for rather than individual pieces of research - as these search the literature and pull together all the known findings to date. Cochrane reviews are good. I'm sure some of these have been linked to recently?
