> By the way, Xanax will in its own way make the treatment more difficult. When it is working, it squashes down cortisol. Yours is already down to begin with. When the last dose of Xanax begins to wear off, there is a cortisol rebound, where large spikes of cortisol increase and it puts a heavy demand on the adrenal glands. That is part of the rebound anxiety felt when a dose wears off. Xanax may be be helpful in other ways to you, but is not going to complicate the adrenal fatigue thing.

bleauberry:

Thanx for sharing and confirming what I have experienced the last years on bensos! However, I myself believe that I have sky-rocket of amounts of cortisol within me. I recently actually tried propranolol as seldomseen suggested but with bad results. It seemed like the prop gave rise to a similar problem as with bensos... a sort of "build-up" in the high-energy/high-alertness occured AFTER a short time of relaxation and finally manifsted itself as a WORSE attack of high energy than usual. That is often what happens on benso even after very limited use.

Let me add to this what I myself believe is maybe a crusial part in this. I dont have a diganose of ptsd but I have reason to believe that could be happening to me. Anyway... on high dosage of benso the "histamine turnover" occurs.. I got this explained from a girl in here at some time what it actually meant. The way I understood it is that high doses of benso lowers the histamine in the nervous system... which would make complete sense in my case because when I have allergi (which started in february here... pollen) I have to use TRIPLE doses or even higher on bensos to get SOME effect whatsoever. AND more to that... I am also insensitive to any kind of gaba-agonist (like kava kava or L-theanine) when I have allergy suggesting that my system is totally poisoned by histamine when it occurs AND that my histamine-system it totally freaked out in "normal" mode too... because I get SO different effects from benso when ON allergy and OFF it so to speak. When I have allergy there is NO "build up" of bad energy within me AND NO paradoxal effects even on the high doses. This is really complex :S

I felt very lucky when I two weeks ago (!) discovered that a company in my part of the world (sweden and nordic countries) have released a supplment containing Amine oxidase (brand name is "camucin" btw), one of the enzymes that break down histamine!! This I believed would never ever reach some open market other than maybe the medical market.. but here it is, approved in this part of the world in 2006 (though seems limited to only some EU-countries)! I have just now recently begun with it. It is formally for food-allergy (I have IBS btw) but some doctors recommend it for several "atypical" or severe allergies. I can only hope that this can better my stomach (which is one of the main problems in my life specially when the damn allergy makes it worse!)... and I hope it gives a real good chance to affect the other stuff (the "super-high-energy" that makes relaxation a work of art for me). Would be nice if it would do anything with my fibromyalgi too.

As you say bleauberry , no one knows the truth about this stuff or what happens in our bodies... one is LUCKY if running into something that actually helps. The only thing that kicked everything to compelete oblivion wihtout side-effects was melatonin the few times it actually worked in the past... I have my hopes on Valdoxan due to that :)

I do hope that my post here can help someone out there in some similar complex situation. If there is a link between primary histamine and cortisol and then into everything else... maybe in my case. I even thought of this type of connection too:

Now, that is an intersting histamine-receptor...
