ANSWER:

Hello Arthur,

I am so sorry you are going through that.

If I understand you correct, you are tapering off?

If so then you want to taper off completely.

There are natural supplements that will help restore your cortisol levels.

Low cortisol is usually due to adrenals at their final stage of exhaustion.

I would do a full recovery program for you that also detoxes your body of the medications you are currently taking.

on my "Supplements" link on the nav bar. There is a product called adrenacalm, adrenastim and ADB5. Those three will help restore your adrenal function. But you have to be off the synthetic hormones first to get a recovery.
