Cortef 5mg for six months, no increase?

[Guest guest]

I'd like some feedback on this prescription: after being diagnosed

with adrenal fatigue (Val, you said Stage 7 when I posted my lab

results last week), my doctor wants me on 5 mg HC (Cortef) for six

months. No ramp up, no increase, no nothing.

To me, this sounds suspicious. But I'm no doctor.

I have significant nausea with vomiting, puffy eyes, puffy face since

starting Cortef and no improvement with the adrenal fatigue symptoms.

I do not need more problems, let me tell you!

Thanks.
