Hi Glacina, <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I got a prescription for Cortef from my Integrative Medicine Doctor. She prescribed 5mg in am and at noon daily. I was very skeptical to take it in the beginning but I have actually been sleeping through the night since I started taking it a month ago. My adrenals were really shot, making it difficult for me to get up in the morning, tired throughout the day and wide awake at night suffering from insomnia, palpitations, night sweats and horrible thoughts. She recommended I take for 6 weeks and then follow up with her to see if she should ween me down to 1 5mg pill per day and then take me off completely or continue until I feel my adrenals have been somewhat healed.
