Guest guest Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 I do not know that HC would interact with antidepressants as our own body produces cortisol so it shouldn't be an issue. I'm not quite sure why this is happening. Are you on any thyroid meds yet? What exactly is your DIAGNOSIS even if it's one that mainstream medicine has given you? What dose of HC did you start with and what did you raise to? Can anyone who is on AD's please give me some feedback while they have taken HC? Hi, I am currently on two anti - depressant type medications. I have taken the salivia testing and waiting for results. I am told By my thyroid serum testing I am low and I have a gut feeling I am Quite low in adrenals. So I tried HC with help from Val(= and the 1st Two times my heart was racing really fast. Then she told me to up it Because my adrenals could be needing a higher starting dose. Well, This too had my heart pounding ,ere I was grasping for breath.I Was put on prednisone two times in high doses,and did not feel palpitations. Now ,ith the two medications I take , plus .5 klonipin if I have a panic attack(which Has not been in awhile, knock on wood) I take it more to help sleep, the other Two ad's can at times cause BP fluctuation and other symptoms. Does anyone That is taking AD's know if the hc is conflicting with ad's if they take them. My dad has spoken to a friend who is a doc in town that is trying To find a doc that knows how to help adrenals with the temps., meds, Etc... As of now the docs I have seen say I am ok which is a joke as The last couple months I literally have trouble getting out of bed to eat. I am at loss at this time and any feedback would be much appreciated! a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 Hi , I was told I have Fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue. I also had EBV and still have a high serum level Of it. >5.00 I am not on thyroid meds . I took salivia test and I am waiting for results. I do undertand that the HC is what our bodies would be making naturally, but I think It conflictswith my meds. I tried two days if 2.5 mg . Of HC , and then I tried 5 mg. And my heart rate is way too fast. Even with Mag. It took hours to settle down, and I had to lay down the whole time . I was told my thyroid levels were good, but we know how the docs are off base With this. All my sex hormones are real low. I am in my 30's ,but still the hormones from meds and stress have depleted. From what I read here it it best to treat adrenals and then the sex hormones I am currently on 50mg. Of bioidentcal progestone a week prior ,and 100mg during My period. This was to help the pms and low mood. It has helped a tad. I have been getting worse, not to be negative , but, just reality. Today was first Day I could get out of my house in weeks to run some errands. My TSH serum was 2.52 Free T3 - 285 Reverse t3 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
