Guest guest Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Hi, just wanted to ask a quick qestion. I've just come off 15 Isocort after being on it for 1 1/2 years and I came off it over the period of about 2 months. I want to get re tested with a saliva test to see where I stand and whether my adrenals have improved or not. I've been off the Isocort totally about a week now and I'm excessively exhausted. I was very tired ON the Iscort and often slept until lunchtime but OFF the Isocort and the tiredness/weariness is huge. I've literally slept all day today. I don't want advice like you need HC or to go back on Isocort as that's not my intention (at least not until I get re tested). I just want to know if this exhaustion after coming off steroid based things is somewhat normal and if it'll improve?? I've spoken with Dr P about what I'm doing but I seem to have gone downhill since then with the absolute exhaustion, also constant headaches. Any thoughts? Thanks Hannah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 I don't know how strong Isocort is as compared to Cortef, but I weaned myself gradually off 30mg Cortef (hydrocortisone) without any recurrence of adrenal fatigue. So I would say, no, it is not " normal " . Miriam > I don't want advice like you need HC or to go back on Isocort as that's not my intention (at least not until I get re tested).
