DHEA is a metabolic precursor of testosterone, among other things, and an OTC supplement in the US
Single dose DHEA seems to 1:1 have increased my BigFive::Extraversion::Assertiveness[1]
As a subset of that, it seems to have boosted my executive functioning
The execfunc boost is (as I read later) vaguely consistent with ADHD research
It also changes my cognition and motivation in ways I’m not fully comfortable with
There’s a subjective 15% chance the mindstate switch was instead placebo-induced
the Aspect, 1⁄2 of Extraversion
Given the above, will antiandrogens make me more introverted? And if so, are there cognitive benefits to introversion? (I think so)
2 days ago started taking the supposed mild but statistically significant antiandrogens and OTC supplements Reishi + Chasteberry + Spearmint
I’ll be amused if that before long ends my “frequent public posting” streak
