Guest guest Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 I think you can wean a lot faster than that. Isocort is a lot weaker than HC. How many pellets are you on? You need to be OFF all cortisol for two weeks prior but depending on how many you are on you might be able to wean off within a week. It all depends on your side effects. Cheri -----Original Message----- Deb said the only way to get off is 1 pellet every two weeks. that is wayyyyyyyyyy too long. any other info that you think would be handy. Since he's a obgyn he's totally going by this book and I think will want me on slow release cortisol. Deb said to go Cortef instead....I'll see how much he'll work with me here. I have a feeling he'll want that darn test.....but to get off of isocort is not a fun thought. I have stuff I need to do and am just getting it done on isocort (stress dosing alot too) without it I would be hurting! lol . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 >> I have been taking cortisol now for two weeks on 1.25 mg and now 1.25 mg twice a day. I would like to get a Saliva test done to get a baseline. Do I have to be off of the Cortisol before doing the test? Or is it too late now I started the Regimen? My blood test for Corisol was .30 (.20-1.8)?<< yes you shoudl be off it gfor two weeks to get the saliva testing done. But at that low dose that shoud not be that hard to do. Woth a blood test that low is your doctor not giving you more cortils than that? -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If oyu just stop the Isocort the day befreo it will guarantee oyu a stage 6-7 on your labs. Your HPA will have no time ot retun to it's funciton thta is is capable of. Weaning off too quickly woll still get oyu a lower test than your body is able to produce but wouls be nuch more accurate than this way. You need ot be off all cortils products for 2 weesk to get accurate labs. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ http://www.seewell4less.com/Valspage.htm Medical Alert Bracelets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
