Guest guest Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 That's good advice, thanks. I thought I had remembered people having DHEA reactions. He has me taking 5 mg twice daily, twelve hours apart. Is there any benefit to me starting at one a day for a little bit? Thanks, Terijo My usual suggestion is to start new meds on a weekday morning when you know that the doc is in the office. Since you have been using Cortef, I think it would be safe to try the HC now. But I would wait until Monday to use the DHEA. It normally converts to testosterone, but in some ladies, it converts to progesterone and or estrogen that you may or may not need. Some of our ladies have had reactions to one or more of the above. And, staggering the start times, if you do have a reaction, you will know which one caused it.
