Hello.
I signed up because I have a specific question in regards to the use of pregnenolone.
I will do my best to keep it short and to the point.
I stopped menstruating 5 months ago. I do have terrible menopause symptoms and started pregnenolone on January 24 (only 12 days ago, 30 mg 2 X day). I felt an immediate improvement of overall well being. I actually felt "normal" again after only 2 days or so. However on February 1 my period started. I lowered my dose to 1 X daily. Still I have a heavy period now. I don't mind that because I still feel good. My question is this: should I lower the dose even more or keep it the same?
A little bit of back ground. I am a 50 year old woman and have always been very healthy, no doctors visits or problems in general. Then menopause hit me a few years ago and it hit me hard. I had bio identical hormone replacement of testosterone and progesterone (topical). This did nothing for me, I used it for about 18 months. I decided to just let nature have its way but it was horrible. Awful night sweats the whole night and very little sleep. Also a significant change in personality that I really try not to give in to but sometimes it's like another person was taking over. I exercise a lot and eat healthy, I do drink alcohol, mostly red wine.
I have searched this forum for similar issues but not found anything yet. I would appreciate any comments or links if I missed something that has previously been discussed.
Thanks!
