[QUOTE="ratbag, post: 91374, member: 972"] Well people who take cortisol usually take 25mg or upwards daily. I take 15mg when I wake up. I take 10mg at 1:00pm and I take 5mg at 6:00pm. This is 30 mg /day and is the average for those who have serious adrenal issues. That amount is enough to live on even if your adrenals don't recover or some HPTA effecting it. When someones adrenal rhythm goes off and they have too much cortisol at night and it's low in the morning, they fix that rhythm by giving you the necessary amount in the morning... then your adrenals adjust their circadian clock to match and your there. So this is definitely the way I'd go about it. Because I don't see any other way for your system to change. I recall seeing that a teaspoon of hydrocortisone cream = X mg's of cortisol cream, so just Google that it's there. If your going to try it remember morning cortisol is highest. Also they say if you do this for more than 3 days your supposed to wean yourself off cortisol slowly. So there is that 3 days period you can try cortisol and then drop it without any consequence. If you feel better in that 3 day period with cortisol then stop after the 3 days and get yourself some diurnal cortisol saliva labs and find out whats happening and then get Defy to help if you can. It can't be emphasised enough that you still need a competent MD you can call to get your protocol correct, most of us are not good at self management. [/QUOTE]
