High Cortisol All Day-Take Cortef in a.m.?

[Guest guest]

I have high cortisol all day long. My mornings are especially the

worst and have the highest cortisol out of range by far then according

to the saliva test. I have been taking PS, zinc and Relora to lower

for about a month, but still have extreme anxiety, dry heaves, nausea,

shakiness to the point of barely being able to function. Have lost

over 10 lbs in one month. Couldn't I take some Cortef just in the

morning to stop the pounding on the adrenals and let them rest so I

can at least function in the a.m? By around 4:00 p.m. and later the

cortisol is still high, but not nearly as far out of range and I'm

feeling much, much better. Would it be reasonable to just try HC in

the morning at my worst?

What you are describing are NOT symptoms of high cortisol but of LOW. Did you

have these symptoms before starting all these supplements? f not I would back

off them and see if they are better. Early stages of adrenal fatigeu are high

cortisol BUT that is subject to change, and sometimes rapidly.
