You might want to try 7 keto DHEA
I have learned a lot about 7 keto DHEA and am now taking it. It does not have masculizing affects on women. You may learn more by doing a search at www.google.com. Here is a brief intro, from the internet:
I have been taking 7-keto DHEA for about 18 months now, gradually reducing my dose from 25 mg/day to 10-15 mg/day. I have found 7-keto DHEA to be an energy enhancer, anti-cortisol stress reducer, and general revitalizing agent. I have gradually dropped 20
pounds of weight, have experienced a significant thinning of my face away from the classic cortisol "moon face" I was developing in recent years. I consider 7-keto DHEA one of my core anti-aging supplements. I have also used 7-keto DHEA to quickly revive 2 cats traumatized from combined surgical/anaesthesia/vaccine stress. My wife finds 7-keto DHEA to be the single most energizing supplement she's ever taken.
DHEA/ 7-KETO DHEA: DOSAGES
For those wishing to get the potential androgenic benefits of DHEA, extremely low doses are advised. 10-25 mg /day for women, 20-40 mg/day for men. Anyone suffering any serious disease or hormonal condition should only use DHEA under competent medical supervision. 7- keto DHEA may be effective at doses as low as 5-10 mg/day, with 25-50 mg/day being probably adequate for all but medical use in disease treatment under medical supervision.

Regarding the above disclaimer about asking your medical doctor: If you do one to three hours worth of reading ( or more) on the subject of DHEA , you will no doubt know more about DHEA than 99% of md's.
