DHEA cycle

I am currently taking DHEA cream (30mg) daily.
It has helped alleviate my adrenal and thyroid issues substantially (softer hair texture, less frequent cold feet, and general well being)
The DHEA is powerful stuff, and needs to be used carefully, too much and it makes me feel worse off.

I have been using the DHEA for the past two months, with a 5 day break after 25 days of consecutive use (as per the recommendations on the bottle) I notice when I'm on the 5 day break, I feel possibly worse off then when I started using DHEA. I'm wondering if I am making my body dependent on the dosage, so that it is no longer producing its own DHEA.

Is there any better way to cycle the usage of DHEA so this doesn't happen? Does anyone have any experience in this?

Thanks,
