Hi,
I went on TRT/clomiphene 4 months ago to help recover from a brain injury, and within a month I felt like my old self after almost 3 years of post concussion syndrome. In addition, my neuroendocrinologist also put me on Pregnenolone 50mg and DHEA 10mg, both Life Extensions brands.
Last month, we re-ran my labs and my testosterone was almost 1100, which was no surprise because I felt super human. My estrogen was also high, Pregnenolone was low, DHEA was high.
My Dr. recommended I take a supplement called DIM detox (https://smartq.pureforyou.com/products/32040737734690/dim-detox) to help stop the aromatization of test ---> estrogen, but every time I take it I feel apathetic and a low level depression, so I stopped taking it and have been taking higher dose vitamin E.
My thought process is that the Pregnenolone is further helping strengthen the pathway of Preg ---> DHEA ----> Test ----> Estrogen and Progesterone will help oppose Estrogen, although also think there could be a Cortisol steal thing happening with the low Pregnenlone, since my body was stuck in fight or flight for about 3 years.
Any ideas how to approach this? I have a bottle of Progest-E sitting in my fridge but want to be mindful with the hormone protocol I'm on not to fuck anything up.
