  • Yeah my face is super greasy. I had to buy a new astringent it's so bad. I also have had an increased sex drive. (I'm guessing its DHEA and/or being taken off metformin). Also I have VERY VERY vivid dreams. I wake up exhausted because its like I'm living a whole different life in my dreams. I asked my nurse about the dreams and she said she had never heard it before. But it's only been happening since I've been taking it.

    Are you taking it? Side effects? Or just want to know to take it?



      


  • I'm on both CoQ10 (600mg daily) and DHEA (75mg daily).  It's been about three weeks.  I've been bitchier than normal but have not had any acne or skin changes. 
    The bitchy could have been the Estrace though too...

  • I am on both dhea 75mg 3xday and cq10 600mg 3x day. I have noticed the acne and also if I take the dhea later then 6pm I'm up all night. It (dhea) makes me a little hyper. I have also lost weight. Roughly about 10lbs. I think It's from the hyperness. Also I'm lossing more hair than normal. I have an 11month old dd but no frosties from last ivf. The doc thinks this will increase my eggs/quality. Planning to do ER in November. I haven't really noticed any side effects from cq10. Fx crossed ladies that these supplements help us have lo's. :)
