That used to happen to me every day, on meds or off didn't matter. It could be hormonal. Part of the daily cycle. It's probably a bit out of sync with the timeclock on the wall. In my case I had pretty bad adrenal fatigue most of the day and then the nearly absent cortisol began to climb into the normal range in early evening. It was evident on a chart. It coincided perfectly with my mood improvement. Now a couple years later after taking steps to support and heal my adrenals the cycle still seems out of sync a little and cortisol is still low but at least is still in the normal range without the big spikes down or up.
Anyway who knows. My guess is hormonal. That pattern you described is rather common with people who are nearing adrenal exhaustion but not quite there, or people who have already crashed but are now on the healing path. It can also be disregulation of the pituitary gland. That could be from a host of causes including accumulation of metals, infections, stress or trauma, or genetics. In any case I think it means there need to be some changes apart from the meds. Whether on meds or off, there are other things very important to focus on. My opinion anyway.
