Cortisol, insomnia, adrenal fatigue...

Posted by uncouth on February 8, 2012, at 18:57:47

hey folks,
i saw an integrative MD today who thought that my cluster of symptoms...mood, sleepiness/fatigue, and especially insomnia probably meant something like adrenal fatigue. we are doing a 24 hour cortisol test and hopefully that shows something. the problem is over the past six months i have been on supplements that are supposed to help, but i'm now worse off it seems. i have been exercising intensely the last 5 months too, and haven't seen any weight drop off of my abdominal section, which would make sense if i had high cortisol. i'm on an SSRI, i have been taking 50mg of DHEA, and rhodiola, which i just stopped....why on earth would my cortisol still bee high if i'm doing all this? how can i still have adrenal fatigue if i've been taking rhodiola for a long time now, and dhea???

what are the best supplements to help with adrenal fatigue? is eleuthero better? i get a paradoxical reaction to eleuthero--it doesn't give me energy, it actually makes me a little sleepy and heavy eyed...it is definitely stress easer. how long would i have to take eleuthero before adrenals recovered?

HELP!
