Does anyone know if removal of the adrenal glands would get rid of anxiety. I know you would have to be on hormone replacement therapy for life.
I have failed every SSRI medication due to the terrible side effects. My life is so terrible with the all day long anxiety I have. Xanax barely works for me anymore. I take 2-3mg/day plus Klonopin 1mg twice a day and a beta blocker for the rapid heart race. All antidepressants make me sick. Was just wondering about the adrenal glands as they are responsible for the terrible anxiety I have.
Or, is there any way to surpress them. I'm currently being tested for Pheocryocytoma, which is a tumor or cyst on the adrenal glands. I have suffered my entire life from anxiety, but never like it has been in the past 8 mos. I could always functions and had spuratic anxiety that a xanax would take care of. Now it's all day, every day. I shake inside like a leaf even with the xanax and my beta blocker doesn't seem to keep my heart rate down.
Thanks in advance....Gary gary1rn@yahoo.com
