> I've been suffering from suicidal depression, and severe inability to sleep from January 2006. I withdrew off Lexapro in September 2005, and I'm sure that this all started as a result of my 4.5 years on antidepressants (starting in 2001). I've been psychiatrically hospitalized about 6 times since January 06, and of course these doctors cannot offer anything besides their poisonous drugs that make me even sicker and more suicidal!
>
> The worst part is that my body has become severely intolerant of virtually every drug (not just psych drugs, all drugs in general). So I have this suicidal depression and severe insomnia, and at the same time nothing can relieve it AT ALL. I do take Seroquel 300, Ambien 10mg, and Klonopin 1mg, but they barely work.
>
> Is it possible that my body is so allergic/intolerant to all these drugs because of Adrenal Exhaustion? Is that a possibility? I definitely match all the symptoms of "cortisol deficiency". Can this be the answer to my misery?
>
> Please help.Yes, I definately think thats a possibility. Don't give up because current meds aren't working. You could be on the right track that adrenal deficiency, cortisol, or some other deficiency is causing problems for you. I would suggest contacting your GP and have the whole work up done. Have Doc refer you, Endo I would think.
Good luck. Stick around, you'll get some other ideas.
