I think it would help if you said what reaction you are having to have more people respond.

But with any medication there can be side effects. Here is a link to side effects: http://www.webmd.com/drugs/drug-6731-Hydrocortisone+Oral.aspx?drugid=6731&drugname=Hydrocortisone+Oral

My son takes it for Adrenal fatigue and he finds it helpful. He takes what is called a physiological dose. We split up the dose so he can take it three times a day.

Best,
Karen

Did you just start? If you are supplementing physiologic dose as Karen says above, it may produce more of a herx response since you are enabling your immune system.

Cortef ? Physiological replacement dose range is discussed here.

Adrenal links & sleep support, too.

If a higher than physiological dose is involved, this really matters:
