Re: dosing question (got up too early)

[Guest guest]

What you could do is try a 2.5mg stress dose and going back to bed. That

is most liekly what I would do if it is more than an hour till time to

get up.

Ok. I'll keep that in mind for next time. Does that mean I would take a

regular dose when I get up at the normal time if I do the stress dose

and go back to sleep? Also, what should I do today, since I didn't do

the stress dose. I've been awake for over 2 hours and out of bed for

about an hour and 20 mins. I normally wouldn't get up for another hour -

hour and a half or so. I haven't taken anything yet.

Thank you!

Today I would wait till your regular time to dose UNLESS you have

symptoms of low cortisol in which case I would take it earlier.

Shellie, this happens to me on a regular basis (if you're following

all of the list mail this morning you've probably already seen my

posts). I often get up and take 2.5mg of HC with a little cheese and

which resolves what I consider to be low cortisol symptoms like the

night sweats that I wake up with, hunger pangs and active GI. It

doesn't always help me get back to sleep, but it has on more than one

occasion. When I do that I usually reduce my next dose, my morning

dose, by 2.5mg although maybe I shouldn't if the 2.5mg is more of a

stress dose.

Anyway, you're not alone and the 2.5mg at 3-5AM might help.

I sometimes take a small dose of HC, 2.5 mg, at that time, to see if it

will help me get back to sleep. Then I dose as usual at my regular first

am scheduled dose. Some people lowere their first dose by the amount

they took in the middle of the night, but I never have. I don't do a 3

am dose very often though, as it doesn't seem to help me much, if any.

I still wake at that time every night, and almost every other hour besides.

hey Val; I'm butting in on this because I have a similar question. I

will be traveling shortly and will have to get up at 3:00am to start my

day. Do I start the HC so early? I will be through with my dosing by

11:00am, and bedtime is a long ways away. I am currently at 20 mg HC.

thanks conny

When traveling you need ot stress dose extra cortiosl anyway. SO I would

take your AM dose twice, whne oyu get up and again when you are supposed

to take it.
