Anxiety is usually a low cortisol symptom. How are you dosing your

HC? If you take too high a dose first thing, it could be lowering your

nighttime levels too much. Also, if you lowered from 40 to 20 in just

a few days, that was probably a little too fast for your body to adjust

to.

Thanks Barb. I'm dosing 15-5. I'll try 12.5~5.0~2.5 tomorrow.

Wow, 15/5, that's too high then too low. I'd start even lower with

more doses tomorrow. How about 7.5/5/5/2.5, with the last dose at

bedtime?

i was JUST going to ask this SAME question and just saw this post. i

just got my dose up to 20 mgs but the last couple of nights around 6-

8pm i have gotten extreme anxiety and panic with other low cortisol

symptoms and had to add another 2.5 just to feel even keeled again.

i am dosing at 10-5-2.5-2.5 and wonder the same barb if this is too

high to too low causing cortisol to drop too low in the evening as

well? i'll try your recommendation anyway to see if that helps. the

feelings of anxiety were very scary and didn't realize this could be

a result of dropping too much later in evening???
