I am/or have been made hypoadrenal from Seroquel. It is complicated by a hypothyroid condition.
I recently tried a trial of hydrocrotisone 20+ mg/day, multi-dosing for 6 weeks.
I am now in the midst of a bad glucocorticoid withdrawal and need to go back on an SSRI to temporarily correct my suppressed HPA axis and adrenal function.
Which SSRI is best to counteract this situation.
I have acute anxiety due to this situation - lots of physcial symptoms too - dizzy, nauseous, shaky. Bad!
I am still stuck on 12.5 mg Seroquel which is certainly exacerbating it.
I need to get the hpa axis up, and cortisol up, but not over-stimulate myself. (yes, I have had plenty of tests showing partial secondary adrenal insufficieny)
Dr suggested Luvox. I have some Lexapro, I considered taking, bur don't know what is best to do.
Thanks
