I don't understand it completely myself, but I have heard others say

that many of the symptoms of high cortisol are the same as for low

cortisol.

For years I have had intense, uncontrollable, shaking moments of rage

that I knew were more physiological than psychological, yet the only

advice I would get from doctors was to take tranquilizers or

antidepressants. Once I started supporting my adrenals with HC, I

noticed the sudden rages were becoming a rare occurrence. There has

to be a connection. I believe I was getting adrenaline surges,

because I often felt like I was over-reacting, but was unable to stop

the shaking, rapid heartrate, and overwhelming rage.

IIRC, low cortisol means high adrenaline, isn't that right? I also

thought I read something about high estrogen messing up cortisol

levels, and I have estrogen related migraines that have finally been

alleviated with the use of progesterone cream. I know a lot of others

have had bad luck with it, but somehow for me, the combination of

progesterone cream and HC has been almost miraculous.

I sympathize with both of you!

I just experienced this 'rage/anger/mania' last week when I thought I

had some sort of adrenaline surge or thyroid dump. However, Val

informed me it was not a thyroid dump (b/c apparently you need

excessive T3 to dump into your cells to have that happen). Anyways,

the anger and rage was noticed even by my therapist. It was exactly as

you say PHYSIOLOGICAL, not my overreacting (although I am aware that I

do this sometimes). It occurred when I got up to 12.5 mcg Synthroid

and 2 1/2 pellets Isocort and licorice. Apparently, with the combo,

something snapped and i went super hyperthyroid in symptoms and had a

major anger reaction. I have noticed my anger going up slowly over the

past week (as I have increased my Isocort and thyroid) so I cannot be

sure what the cause is. Perhaps it is low cortisol, and I need more

Isocort. But, then why did the anger start when I began increasing

everything?

I am in the same boat as you all in not understanding. As Val has said

many times, these symptoms of low cortisol can be like those of high

cortisol. It is just so counter-intuitive!
