Exhuastion is WHY I am taking the Delta in the first place. I am not even sure if the Delta has anything to do with it. Could be my surgery, could be Mom's death, could be my EBV, could be hypo, who knows. All I have to say is that I am very discouraged at this point. I am sick and tired of being sick and tired. In all fairness, I think I need to give the Delta a few months to work. I am sure my adrenas are pretty well shot. I take two 2.5 mg. Deltacortril in the morning with my 1G Armour. I take another grain of Armour at about 2PM. It seems I have more energy after dinner until about 11PM. Waking up is a bitch. Sleeping better though. I wake briefly at 4AM and go back to sleep. Used to wake with a shot at 3AM and stay awake for about 1-2 hours. Let's hope my sleep continues to improve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple of people I know have had this kind of response to the delta at first. It's probably the adrenals quieting down a little and stopping the over production of cortisol. It will take a little time...maybe 2-3 weeks until you feel like it's better all around. It took me a full 6 weeks on the delta to have consistent good energy all day long, but every day it got better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 17, 2004 Report Share Posted July 17, 2004 , I'm just wondering, if cutting back on your Provigil is making you tired. I ran out of Adderall, an amphetamine, and I'm more tired. I know Provigil is a different type of drug, but it still perks you up. How long have you been taking the Delta? in Va. > Went to be at 11-I HAD to watch " Nip-Tuck " ! > I was absolutely exhausted these past two days.

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2004 Report Share Posted July 18, 2004 HI, , I do hope your sleep continues to improve. And oh, if we could just wake up full of energy and rested, wouldn't that be wonderful? in Va. -----> I have been feeling more exhausted on the Delta.

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2004 Report Share Posted July 18, 2004 This is what happened to me first on Cortef. Sleep was the first improvement. in Va. I think your sleep becoming more regulated is the first step to your adrenals getting stronger. A couple of people I know have had this kind of response to the delta at first. It's probably the adrenals quieting down a little and stopping the over production of cortisol. It will take a little time...maybe 2-3 weeks until you feel like it's better all around.
