Re: Major headache/HC dosing deja vu

[Guest guest]

, Hertoghe's change to your HC dosing is EXACTLY what I arrived at after

many months of trial-and-error HC dosing (this really amazes me). I had read to

never take 20 mg of HC at once, it's supposed to shut down one damn axis or

another. But I feel best when I take 20 mg first thing in the morning. (Maybe

my axis is croaked already?)

Proper dosage and timing clearly varies widely from person to person; everyone's

different cortisol highs and lows over the course of the day; also in my own

case my high Cortisol Binding Globulin is binding some of the HC I take into a

useless form; and I think it also depends on just how burned out one's adrenals

are.

I also expect dosage to vary over TIME; at some point in the future I'd love to

try tapering slowly down and/or off the HC. But that is likely years away, if

even possible.

instead of 10 and reducing the number of doses from 6 to 3. Now i take:

> Morning 20 mg

> Lunch 10 mg

> Bedtime 2.5 to 5 mg
