In 2012 I was on a 3 months party vacation with a friend. We drank daily. We partied. Almost never relaxed. On top of that I had a bad trip on weed. I had a heavy flu with, I guess, a pancreas inflammation. After all that, living hell started for me. I guess I had a Burnout and ever since adrenal fatigue.
Long story short, mentally/emotionally I have gone to feel like a 5 yrs old child. Social anxiety like crazy. Deep shame issues. I could not talk to people. Even with friends.
Fast forward to December 2019. I took 10mg pregnenolone and 25mg Dhea. Within days all anxiety diminished. I could hold eye contact. I became confident again. I even started approaching girls. Mentally I changed to a state of "I dont give a fck what others think". I was pushing me out of my comfort zone, doing things that challenged me etc.
In the last 1 1/2 years I was on and off of both. Off times I have gone back to this childish personality. On I was back in life. One issue was plaguing me. Migraines. And kind of brain inflammation feelings. All day and night this feeling like somebody stick a knife in my brain.
About 5 weeks ago I took a large 50mg dose of pregnenolone in the night. Followed by a heavy brain fog. That brain fog felt well known. Usually I was getting that after breakfast (was taking pregnenolone in the morning). Next 3 days I had a heavy migraine. So I made the connection that pregnenolone gives me these migraines and inflammation like feelings in the brain.
I was 5 weeks off pregnenolone now. Wonderful. No migraines or inflammation like feelings. But my personality has gone back down to hell. So much shame and social anxiety.
So yesterday night I took a mini dose of about 5mg pregnenolone. Woke up with this pre migraine feeling that's still going on. But personality wise, I feel like a grown up man again. No ***t given today about what others think. Usually I overthink what I should wear for the day. Today just put on a hoodie and a pants and no **** given. Can hold eye contact with girls etc.
So there is my dilemma. I have to choice to me migraine free and feel like a child all day. Or live with these unbearable migraines but feel like a normal human being.
Any ideas why pregnenolone is causing all this? I mean both. The mental recovery, confidence etc. And the migraines and brain inflammation. And is there a solution to this? Maybe pregnenolone cream?
I have to mention I have post finasteride syndrome. So that might play a role in this as well.
Edit: Ok what it does is, it stops my extremely self judgemental thinking and inner focusing and moves the focus to the outside.
