Re: Re: Isocort and sleep, not the entire answer.

Yes, it depends on what is causing your sleep issues and your individual

body. Adding a night dose did not help me at all...made it worse. However,

increasing my morning has helped me overall. My sleep issues I think are

more hypoglycemic related and all the advice so far hasn't helped, so I am

in the same boat there. I keep experimenting with new things.

Val I tried to follow the advice about raising cortisone levels in the day

time so one would sleep through the night. I increased the isocort I was

taking from two pills a day to four, two each in the morning and evening.

The results were I slept even poorer than I usually do, though I did have

less trouble falling back to sleep in the middle of the night, but..

Today I am so extremely depressed! So, this advice isn't for everyone.

I wish I could fall right back to sleep around four when I wake up. It

usually takes me three of four hours to fall back. I fall back just in time

for the neighbors to start making noise and their dogs to start barking so

getting enough sleep is a problem and I have had to up the amount of

surmontil I take to cope.

LIz I NEVER tell any9one to take 2 inthe AM and 2 in the evening. You need a

RYTHM of highest in the monring and TAPERING through the day. Saw 7Am 4pellets,

11am 3 pellets, 2PM 2 pellets THAT might help you sleep IF it is enough, but I

sincerely dounbt 4 poellets of Isocort is going to FIX anyone's adrenal

proiblems, often een 8 does nto.

>>Raising cortical in the day time did NOT lower it at night. It stayed high so

I could not sleep and the next day I could not stop gritting my teeth and being

depressed and extremely agitated all day.<<

Then you are simply not taking ENOUGH in the daytime.
