Well, taking Dexamethasone improved my mood and cognition immensely over the last 4 days.. I have almost felt like my old self. Too bad I can't keep taking it : ( Its bad to take it for too long , so I'm told.
Anyway, from what I figured out it (probably) does lower your brain cortisol , by flooding your body w/ a cortisol like substance, it basically tells your adrenals to " stop making it" .. and the adrenal cortisol is what will cross into the brain and the dex will not, thus having an overall lowering of cortisol in the brain .. at least thats what I got from the article...
Anyway, what a shame, it really helped ALOT , especially on anxiety too.
I am talking to my doc tomm. but I am sure he won;t know what to make of it..
