Helping you make informed choices about all things mental health: diagnoses, drugs, and drug withdrawal.
Adrenal problems
(See also ‘Adrenaline surges’)
Elevated cortisol
Cortisol “spikes” when you first wake up (pounding heart, flushing, panicky feeling)
(A medical practitioner may suggest taking adrenal supplements; however, many people in the lay withdrawal community report that this can often complicate psychiatric drug withdrawal. It’s said that time is often what helps withdrawal-induced adrenal problems to resolve themselves.)
