DHEA is a general hormone. It is a sort of leader to the other hormones. It helps the other hormones work properly. I take it but only a small amount. I break a 25 mg table in quarters so I'm taking about 6 mgs daily. Any more and my skin breaks out.

I also take 5-HTP. I take 100 mgs every morning. I also take 200 mgs of L-Theanine rather than GABA. I tried taking L-Tyrosine but did not feel good taking it. I take the 5-HPT and L-Theanine instead of taking an SSRI.

You also need to be taking the proper B vitamins.
