nbritton, are you still around? Do you know specifically how pregnenolone is supposed to help? I ask because I started taking this stuff regularly about a month ago, and I'm noticing an unexpected change. I'm not sure if it's this stuff that's causing it.

I've been in the doldrums for a number of years now. Totally lacking in motivation. I do the minimum I need to do to get by. My doctor said it was hormonal, and we experimented with some hormones for a while, but it made no difference at all.

Then a week or two after starting with this stuff, I found myself suddenly very productive at work. I think I've got more done in the last few weeks than in the previous few years. I feel like my old self again.

I'm also calmer.

I'm thinking about trying to convince my son to try this stuff, but I'm not sure exactly how it's supposed to help. According to wikipedia it's a potent anxolytic, and my son does have a lot of anxiety.

Anyway if you're still around, do you have any more info on this supplement? Thanks.
