A member asked:

I took dhea and after stopping for a couple days i got pressure in my head and slight dizziness. what can i buy to fix it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Stop the DHEA: Why were you taking it in the first place, since it's not recommended treatment for any medical disorder. It's metabolized to cortisone, estrogen and testosterone - and you don't have control of what your body converts it to. Stay away.
