Guest guest Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 I just realized I have been using twice the amount of HC cream as I thought I was. I was using the 1/2 teaspoon instead of 1/4 teaspoon. So instead of about 27.5 mg a day I've been using double that for about two weeks. Before this I never used the HC cream before or any other form of HC. Has this messed up my adrenals more? What should I do. Today I feel worse than ever, I'm shaking and I'm so tired. I have been so tired the last week but every night has gotten worse with not being able to sleep. So this morning I used 1/2 tsp of the cream, that's when I finally realized I was using too much. That's already 20 mgs today. My saliva labs are 7:00 0.310 0.025 - 0.600 12:00 0.010 < 0.010 - 0.330 4:00 0.019 0.010 - 0.200 11:00 < 0.010 < 0.010 - 0.090 Jackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 Start weaning down by 2.5 to 5 mg a week starting today. If the 5 mg decrease is too much, only wean by 2.5 mg a week until you get down to 20 or whatever dose it is that you had intended to take. > > I just realized I have been using twice the amount of HC cream as I thought I was.

If it was only a day or two you can probably come down quickly If it was a few days then taper down slowly Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
