>so? I rather have Hypoadrenalism then this anxiety im in 24/7.
I'm not trying to downplay your symptoms. I understand how awful it can be. Hypoadrenalism is serious though.
What medication are you actually taking at the moment, and what symptoms do you have? You mentioned selegiline, pramipexole, armodafinil and bupropion. None of these drugs are usually helpful for anxiety.
>What do you suggest then? My appointment is in 3 weeks and if I do have high cortisol. What will they do?
>they will give me a drug to reduce cortisol.Probably not. Anti-cortisol drugs are normally only used for severe cortisol elevations (eg. caused by certain types of tumour). Less severe elevations associated with anxiety and depression and normally treated by targeting the anxiety and depression.
>Metyrapone has a very short half life like 1 hour. So I would need to dose it several times a day every 4 hours. its also very expensive I think.
The total dose is spread out across the day, yes. I'm unsure of the cost in Sweden. In the UK, it costs about £400 for a pack of 100 x 250mg caps.
