Guest guest Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 \\If a patient continues to ingest a particular SSRI-antidepressant over a prolonged period of time, eventually the bodies Adrenal Glands may lose their efficiency and " Adrenal Exhaustion Syndrome " will be the end result. Adrenal Exhaustion causes levels of adrenaline initially to fall and levels of cortisol to rise. Ultimately, also cortisol levels fall. When untreated, Adrenal Exhaustion will lead to seriously declining physical health. Many (former) SSRI-AntiDepressant users reported fatigue as a long term side-effect or were diagnosed with " Chronigue Fatigue Syndrome. " People suffering from stress are generally diagnosed with this disorder. Symptoms range from simple exhaustion to much more complex problems that are secondary to excessive output of adrenal hormones in the bloodstream, leading to Adrenal Exhaustion. Unlike the other hormones, it takes a long time before the Adrenal Glands have their adrenaline levels restored. Could we say that the SSRI-AntiDepressant " works " by slowly excavating the body's Adrenal Glands?// http://www.antidepressantsfacts.com/pinealstory.htm This piece shows how bad for us the SSRis really are yet they are so worried about prescribing Armour or T3, doesn't make sense at all. I am posting this because I know that utilizing your thyroid hormones is dependant upon how well the adrenals are functioning. luv Dawn x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
