DHEA + TA for testosterone control
Original post in this thread

Hi there,
I was tested low free test a few months ago. Doctor prescribed me 25 mg DHEA 5 on 2 off (weekdays) and I thoght it would be a good idea to stack it with Tongkat Ali.
I started with 1 tab 5 on 2 off but moved to 2 capsules daily. My libido went thru the roof and my lifts have been improving at an incredible rate (sp. squats).
Sadly it seems like I started to develop dry skin and sore elbows + knees and I think it is because TA is lowering my estrogen too much.
I'm torn between these 2 options:
1. Up my DHEA dosage to 50 mg to see if it also raises my estrogen.
2. Stop taking TA until sides disappear and then start taking it again until the sides are noticeable.
Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

I took DHEA solo for a while with no noticeable effects. Then I started taking TA at 1 capsule daily and I wasn't feeling it neither, it is when I ramped the dosage to 2 capsules when my libido skyrocket and squats weights started to feel light (5 reps with relative ease with weight I was struggling for 3 reps).

Any reason you don't just drop the tongkat ali back down to one capsule and see if that levels the effects out?
