Hi Janis,
Thank you for the response. Actually my doctor practices both holistic healing and normal psychiatric meds, so I guess I am lucky. I did do a salvia test and it came back as having high cortisol and low DHEA totals (or vice versa?)
I have read a little about adrenal fatigue and sensitivities, so it is funny you should mention it. We tried ashwaganda for that and I could not tolerate it (I would feel distinctivly more depressed after about the 5th day of use). I sure hope it has something to do with the adrenal glands and that the sensitivities will eventually subside.
Thank you so much for the suggestions. Are there any other ways to help the adrenals? I have been getting lots of rest and have been taking lots of walks and deep breathing. I really feel like I could beat this again if I was able to take Effexor like in the past and not have bad reactions to it and other meds and vitimans. Thanks again
