Hi there, to elaborate on my experience it seemed like once I got to about 40mgs my anxiety went away and I wanted to go out and do things....previously I had been almost agoraphobic and staying home for 2 months.....that weekend I went for an few days to a huge casino, tons of people noise etc and I had a great time! I was overwhelmed a few times but nothing major.....it was amazing. I've been on about 70mgs since them....my body was crazy depleted of hormones so this is building my reserves back up. I still follow the rest of the protocol and rest and eat right, mindfulness etc. But the pregnenalone was a huge turning point for me. I believe it also balanced my high cortisol. Best of luck, keep me posted. Oh also use source naturals sublingual. I take 10mgs several times a day.
