Felt Good then Bad after Taking Inital Dose of Isocort

[Guest guest]

I tried the first dose of Isocort, felt relaxed and slow, but better

than that hyper feeling even on a low does of thyroxine I have been

experiencing. The next day, I took the one morning dose of Isocort and

felt anxious all day. So, I stopped.

After a week, I tried the Isocort again. Felt good, same as the first

time I tried it. But about 8 hours later, I became suddenly dizzy, and

had heavy confusion and super anxiety, not the same sort of anxiety,

but more in my head-feeling, like there was some biochemical chaos

going on. Usually, if it is typcial anxiety, an ativan will relieve

it. In the past, when I was hyper from thyroid meds, but just thought

I was anxious due to undermedicaiton, I would take an ativan, and

found that the anxiety did not dissipate.

In this situation, the anxiety did not dissipate, so there is

definately something going on here with the Isocort I took.

What is happening? Is it the fact that the cortisol was happily

accepted by my body, then rejected after a while because it is too

much for me?

Or is it that the cortisol has been expended and I am in some sort of

physical panic mode becasue my body really expects the cortisol to be

present and available, but it is not there???

Please help. I need to treat the weak adrenals in order to tolerate my

thyroi meds. I am in the midst of a quick downward spiral as I can't

take my old thyroid dose and am more hypo than ever. I presume I have

taxed my adrenals trying to optimize my thyroid meds, and now am in

serious trouble.
