Just wondering if this is normal, or perhaps a combination of supplements that I am taking.
I am currently supplementing with DAA, Erase Pro, Tribulus, Stinging Nettle Root, Ginkgo, and Milk Thistle.
The goal is to raise testosterone, lower cortisol and estrogen. The milk thistle, I take because of the liver detoxifying effects. I am on day 7 of taking this combination and have noticed several things including an increase in sex drive, voice getting deeper, and weight staying the same while getting slimmer. But, yesterday I felt very moody. Sad pretty much. Now, it was Mother's Day and my mother passed away 3 years ago, so my day started out with writing a memorial for her and dealing with that. But the sadness felt like more than just that. Today I woke up feeling sad still, but it passed. I have also been feeling more agressive. In short... moody. lol
One tidbit that may be important is that for the first 3 days of taking the DAA (bulk powder) my scale wasn't set properly and I believe I was dosing up to 9g instead of 6 (loading). After I figured that out, I dropped back down to 6g and for the last 2 days I am down to 3g.
I haven't experienced the joint pain people complain about, but I do take an Omega 3,6,9 tablet as well. I have gotten some back acne, and oddly also noticed my hair on the top of my head getting thicker (I have been almost bald on top for about 4 years now.)
Obviously everything is positive except for the mood swings. Is this to be expected, or am I supping incorrectly?

I wouldn't try to alter any hormones until you know what your levels are at. Unless you have had serious estro related problems in your past, the small amount, if any, increase in estrogen from increased testosterone wouldn't likely have a negative effect on you. DAA can raise your testosterone but not all that much. If you were increasing it to levels way above normal then you would need to control it. DAA won't do that and if it could the other stuff couldn't control it anyway.

I'll give that a try, thanks. I have seen all sorts of conflicting information about dosing with both of these at the same time. Since my T levels are in the normal range (I consider that low, but the doctor doesn't, of course) I assumed that maybe my E2 levels were too high since I was having a lot of the symptoms of low T.
Maybe I just need to find a different doctor willing to work with me on what I want. I can't see paying him to do a test on my estrogen and cortisol when he considers 405 "normal" and is unwilling to get to the bottom of my symptoms.

It honestly sounds like it may be diet-related given how rapidly you've lost weight (congrats btw!). A classic part of the patient history is asking if there are any signs or symptoms accompanying changes in weight. If he didn't even address this much, it might be time to see a new primary care provider.
