A member asked:

I recently did a metabolism test and it showed i have very low testosterone. i was on sertraline (12.5mg) for almost 3 months and stopped to start taking 25mg of dhea. since they're both low dosages, is it safe to take both?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

DHEA: DHEA has some interactions with certain psychiatric medications but I'm uncertain about sertraline even in small doses. Your pharmacist will have more information about this.
