    My doctor wants me to take pregnenolone for a few months due to it showing up low on my blood tests. I can’t seem to find much info on it, but have read some negative experiences on the Reddit. My test was 425 and I feel like shit, but she says they usually come back around that level when I stated that they seem low for my age. Furthermore, I am currently treating hypothyroidism with 75mcg tirosint and 5mcg of the t3 hormone. I can not for the life of me find a doctor to give me desiccated or a higher dose of t3 since my blood work comes back consistent at 1.4 tsh.

    To summarize my rambling: has anybody had any experience with pregnenolone, are there any negatives and is it a waste of money?

    Stats if relevant:
    Male 31 years old
    6’ 230lbs
    160 press
    205 bench
    315 squat (was once 435 for 5)
    425 dl

    No direct experience with that particular med, but I do know that Dr. Wittmer's clinic deals with more than just testosterone. My wife is working with them for thyroid issues, as well. They may be worth checking with, if you're in the US - real great folks, for sure.
