> One simple test of adrenal stress is to try some licorice. Do not use DGL, though. That is De-Glycyrrhizinated Licorice. Glycyrrhizin is the compound that blocks the enzyme that activates cortisol. I'll snip from an unreferenced source...."Glycyrrhetinic acid, a metabolite of glycyrrhizin, inhibits the renal conversion of cortisol to cortisone by inhibiting the enzyme 11 beta-hydroxysteroiddehydrogenase in the kidney." Cortisol is "potential cortisone", in the sense that circulating cortisol levels tell the hypothalamus that the adrenal glands are functioning up to par. By inhibiting conversion to cortisone, you not only reduce stress response, you also trick the hypothalamus into giving the adrenals a little holiday, by inhibiting the CRH cascade. Don't take licorice for more than four weeks. It can lead to other disturbances.
Larry,
If I took licorice, what would I be looking for as proof that I do indeed have adrenal stress? Just more energy or feeling better overall? Or is there something more specific?
Thanks,
Simus

This long, long post has come full circle now (back to the original topic) and is still going strong. I wonder if it's one of the longest ever on Psycho-Babble. I think there should be prizes for such an accomplishment. (How about it, Dr. Bob?)
Please, Don Pardo, tell us what we've won!
But seriously now, I am struggling here to get the motivation and the focus to work on a spreadsheet for my temp job. I'm embarrassed that it's taking so long but I'm having the hardest time doing it.
I need to get more functional and fast!! I need to start treating the brain fog and the adrenal fatigue quickly. (There are some questions coming, I promise.) I've been reading that book on adrenal fatigue, the article Larry recommended on it, lots of posts etc. on treatment of depression, a Dr. Pall article on supplements for mental conditions and I've come up with a list of supplements and meds. The adrenal fatigue sources advise lots of supplements. I'm overwhelmed by the list and I can't afford to take all of them anyway. I need to select some and devise a program for myself.
Larry, if you were in my situation and you had limited funds, which of the following would you choose to take for motivation, focus and adrenal fatigue?
Ginkgo
SJW (Jarrow formula - no more Perika)
selegiline
DLPA
tyrosine
TMG and B12
Enada NADH
green tea extract
picamilon
Coenzyme Q10
ALA
NAC
DMAE
ALC
phosphatydlserine
piracetam or pramiracetam
hydergine
centrophenoxine
digestive enzymes
quercetin/bromelain (I know it overlaps but I
already have some of this at home.)
licorice and/or other adaptogen
green drink (with tons of antioxidants)
probiotics (Enzymatic Therapy pearls)I'm going to add exercise and and some cognitive therapy (jouraling).
It's not my thyroid. I'm on the right amount of hormone for that.
I've probably forgotten a bunch of things. Keep in mind that I already have at home now quite a bit of DMAE, selegiline, Jarrow SJW, NAC, tyrosine, B12, quercetin/bromelain, Enzymatic Therapy Pearls, maca and a little bit of ALC, ALA and picamilon.
I know that it's impossible to give me a quick answer that's going to take away all of my depression and functionality problems - but I want one nonetheless. Seriously, what seems like a reasonable approach to begin making me functional again?

I don't think they're related though the same people would be drawn to them. Enada NADH is very expensive. I've also read that it doesn't take long to build a tolerance to it so it's not something you can use everyday (as opposed to co-Q10). I'm not sure that Larry had that experience with it. I can't remember why he isn't still taking it.Here's another link from Dr. Ray Sahelian. He mentions some case studies of people using it.
http://www.raysahelian.com/nadh.html
I have tried 5 mg. sublingually but didn't have much effect. I think I needed to try more of it and over a period of time. (Then again I'm beginning to think that nothing short of an atomic bomb could get my system moving again.)

Kara,
I'm sorry you are still having such a rough time.
I know I am no Larry, but could I ask if you get at least 2000mg of vitamin C and 1000mg pantothenic acid (B5) a day for the adrenal fatigue?
May things turn around for you very soon. You deserve a better life than this.

I take about 1,000 mg. vit C a day and 125 mg. of B5 now. I'll increase to 2,000 C and put B5 on the list to order. (I also take between 400-800 mg. magnesium a day.)THANKS!

Some people don't do well with synthetic thyroid hormones, despite blood work saying they should be fine. That's why some people swear by Armour.

Co-Q10 is also known as ubiquinone. It's one of two key chemicals required for your mitochondria to produce ATP, the universal energy source for all the rest of the stuff your body does. The other key chemical is NADH.
Alphalipoic acid helps protect ubiquinone and NADH, too.
> I don't think they're related though the same people would be drawn to them. Enada NADH is very expensive.
It can be expensive, I suppose, but no more than a Starbucks coffee is an expensive thing. CoQ10 and NADH are related, and both are promising for the same group.
> I've also read that it doesn't take long to build a tolerance to it so it's not something you can use everyday (as opposed to co-Q10).
True and true.

Neither can I. Actually, I did it too frequently (became irritable), and it did make my insomnia worse (diminishing returns).

Unfortunately I'm trying to find answers to depression, adrenal fatigue and concentration problems all at once so what I'm asking for is fairly unreasonable. But then you're "Hoover, Larry Hoover."
BTW, the Pall article i read was more geared towards Alzheimers but definitely some overlap for my purposes. When you corresponded with him was it specifically about adrenal fatigue?

That would be about one month's income for me. I can't even begin to imagine ... I just wonder if it's worth taking it at all. Are you familiar with the controversy over it's effectiveness now that it is made from soy rather than derived from cows? Supposedly the chemical structure is not the same as it was. Dr. Sahelian thinks it's effectiveness now is questionable and he says it's not worth the expense for something that may not be doing anything for you. What do you think?

I'm probably going to start on the adaptogen maca again. I also have at home Eleuthero. I could only tolerate it in samll amounts. Wonder if it's worth adding that in those small amounts. I had read somewhere that it's not good if you have hypoglycemia but then I read somewhere else that it's particularly good for hypoglycemia. ARRRGGGGHHH. I have a feeling that regular Ginseng is the one not good for hypoglycemia. So hard to know who is right when you read conflicting things like that.
I may try Ashwagandha later on after my four months on the maca but I think it's sedating rather than energizing, correct?

That's why some people swear by Armour.I've done a lot of research on thryoid problems including the about.com site and Mary Shomon's books as well as several other books.
