Noradrenergics and the Adrenal Gland

Posted by clipper40 on November 29, 2007, at 17:16:15

I know that noradrenergics are taxing on the adrenal gland. The body perceives their effect as it would any other kind of stressor. I already have diminished capacity in my adrenal gland (low cortisol etc.) from many years of severe stress. I'm wondering if someone took a beta blocker (like atenolol) with a noradrenergic antidepressant or stimulant, whether that might counteract the negative effect of those medications on the adrenal gland and keep the effects of norepinephrine in the brain? Does that make any sense? Or is there no way around a noradrenergic medication further stressing the adrenals?
