I believe it does. I think for years I had adrenaline rages.

I noticed that when I started treating my adrenals with HC I wasn't

losing my temper as often, and I was just less irritable in general.

There were a few times right before I started HC that I was kind of

scary with anger...that feeling of 'why am I so mad, this is

ridiculous...but I can't stop! Why the hell is everyone so stupid?' lol

I seriously could feel the physical reaction, and could tell that I

was completely over-reacting, but there was nothing I could do about

it. It's much nicer now to know that if I'm angry it's because I'm

really angry and not just having a physical reaction that makes me

feel crazy. That was so uncomfortable, and for so many years!

Wow! This is great / validating to hear! I was getting ready to post

the question: Has anyone experienced a calming feeling after taking HC

if they were feeling anxious at the time of dosing? I've had it happen

twice now. My first thoughts were to just be excited I had enough

energy to feel anxiety (that hasn't always been the case), but when

the anxious feelings began to escalate and irrational fear thoughts

began to grab hold - well, I knew something had to give. I wonder if

my experience is related to this one. I've definitely had the " why are

people so stupid " feelings before. : )
