thanks blueberry and phillips for your responses, especially bleu for your lengthy response. i am taking eleuthero ashwagandah and rhodiola in combination and alone at various point sin recent past as i did think that this was adrenal for a long time, but a 24 hour cortiosol test showed that my cortisol was actually within range, but just a bit elevated out of range at night only.
i have tried everything, going OFF of all the supplements too, thinking that maybe i'm just taking too much, but based on your previous posts months ago when i was asking about adrenal fatigue, I have stuck to the adaptagen regime and i actually think i have seen improvement over the past 6 months...but it did take that long...and i have taken eleuthero that whole time. i only started rhodiola again.
can you talk to me more about eleuthero rhodiola ashwaganda which you prefer etc.? i'm currently taking all three is that overkill? the health food store guy says take ashwagandha in the daytime actually and it will help sleep at night. and i take the sibergin brand of eleuthero...when i first started taking it (first dose) it had an immediate and proofed anti-stress relaxation response, now i think i've acclimated to it but i'm taking it to theoretically rebuild adrenals.
rhodiola i'm nto so sure about, i kinda maybe think it might have made things worse? that's just my sense...might be too stimulating. could it have caused adrenal poop out? i took it for a long time with no breaks at one point.
anyway if you could help me out with these three herbs i'd appreciate it...they seem to be legit just want to know which i should choose if sleep is primary issue.
