Compounded Cortisol

All,

My doctor gave me a prescription for 2.5mg of cortisol which the

compounding pharmacy made for me. I asked them where it came from

and they said from yam. It was natural cortisol and not synthetic.

The first day I took it I felt great, but I hurt in my joints some.

The second day I took it, that night I had a horrible anxiety, panic

attack. That was not normal for me.

The third day I felt okay.

The fourth day all day I cried and cried and cried. I was out of

control.

I did not take it the fifth day.

Then I was back to normal. I told the doctor what happened to me.

He said I was adjusting and try later.

A week later I tried it again and my joints hurt. I was scared and

stopped.

I decided to find something else and came upon Isocort.

I am not having issues with Isocort, but it isn't as strong as the

compounded cortisol.

I called the pharmacist that compounded it for me and they told me it

was natural and never heard of anyone reacting to it at that tiny

dosage.

I would like to go back to compounded cortisol.

I just don't understand why I acted the way I did. I am wondering if

being on Isocort for a little while and then trying again the

cortisol.

Thanks

What did your pre treatment saliva labs look like? Often the peole that

are the lowest in cortiso have the most problems adjusting to it. Are

you just taking 2.5mg every day or are you increasing it? 2.5mg a day is

a tease for your adrneals not treatment.

The doctor wanted me on compounded cortisol 2.5mg for one week, take in

the morning. Then when the one week was done to double it, which would

be 5mg in the morning. I never reached the 5mg.

Ha ha ha...it was a truck not trunk ..... It was 8:00am in the

morning on the way to work. It was hauling lumber and I was in a

little Toyota corolla. I was in front of him and side of him being

dragged. I had no way of escaping..... Another car had to drive in

front of the truck to get him to stop because we were on a bridge and

the truck was pushing me against the railing.

Anyhow, I never felt the same and I knew I really had severe adrenal

fatigue and my salivia tests were already very low to begin with.

> I did my saliva test 2 years ago and the morning I remember being a

2 and at night it went up to 5, very slowly. I do not have the test

in front of me the doctor borrowed it. Then I had a horrible car

accident with a trunk that dragged me down a freeway and almost threw

me off a bridge. After that I never felt the same and I knew I had

severe adrenal fatigue. I tried different supplements, diets etc...

after that accident which is almost two years now. I decided to go

to the doctor. He knew I had severe adrenal fatigue and from looking

at my test before the accident it was obvious I had gotten worse. He

decided to try me on cortisol at a low level. Then I acted really

weird on it as I wrote. With Isocort I feel fine and more energy,

though not exactly the level I had 2.5 years ago. I wonder if my

body was so low it was like a rush or something.

These drug senmsitivities are common with VERY low crtisol as th e body

simply can't process it right. I would tyr to find a steroids tht you

CAN tolerate even if it means going to Pred or Medrol which may work

better for you.,

My list is getting smaller and smaller. I can't use:

Prednisone

Spirnaclatone

Z-pak

Cortef

I think anything that is synthetic my body will refuse.

Isocort I have been able to use. I may try again the cortisol from the

compounded yams. Maybe it was too strong for too soon. They the

pharmacists told me it was identical to what the body made.
