[QUOTE="Anonymon, post: 210952, member: 42608"] I’ve done different schemes. I always do it in the morning, but have tried having 1-3 doses spaced out in the morning vs spaced out throughout the day beginning with the morning. It’s hard to say which was better. I have tried both hydrocortisone and cortisone acetate for my low cortisol. Although there were many positive benefits from it and it fixed a lot / most things closer than anything has, it was scary as all hell as time went on. Maybe I just overshot it (20-22.5mg a day worth at the height briefly, taken in 2.5mg doses spread out that I built up to), but I started to become deranged from it. Sleep was better at first then worse. I decided to come down because my source got iffy and I was having a bad reaction to the vaccine, which I regret getting during trying it all out. Also had some bad life events happen around that time too, as in really bad, and it filled me with unending visions of my own death, and made me want to kill someone as well as myself. Almost did it a bunch of times, at least the ‘myself’ part. I mentally turned into a crazy person, which is the polar opposite of me, as I’m normally so calm and unshakable that it irks people. Tapering off cortisol meds fixed that. I had a lot of success with Rhodiola + slow release T3, so I wanted to try doing something closer to that instead given that I started going mad on HC and CA. It may just have been the life events + PTSD levels of stress hormones running through my veins, but it was scary enough to make me want to try something else. And I didn’t want to become dependent on it and worse off. I would advise anyone to be very, very cautious about experimenting with cortisol. A little goes a long way. I’m technically still on 2.5mg of CA in the morning and have been for a while. If someone wants to experiment, that or hydrocortisone at 2.5mg once in the morning and then some other time during the day spaced out seems to be a safe dose that at least in studies out to 30-60 days did not cause observable suppression of the adrenal axis. At 30 days one study saw 10mg to cause no suppression, but I’ve heard enough withdrawal stories at that dose to still be wary of it. 2.5-5mg is a relatively safe dose to experiment with if someone was interested. Was on T4 at the time too. Additionally, if you have low cortisol issues, or for a lot of guys, don’t take Ashwagandha. I took it for years but am generally better without it. Caused more problems then helped for me. [/QUOTE]
