Suggest Treatment For Overactive Adrenals Due To Steroid Use

my adrenals are overactive from steroid use. test show high amounts of cortisol in morning then it calms. Im feeling 100 times better from not using juice and diet change and over a gallon of water a day. Wondering how long my symptoms will last of feeling anxious?

It is not that your adrenals are overactive.. Infact your adrenals will be suppressed due to steroid use.. You can slowly taper down your steroid dose if it is no more required for the condition you are currently using for..
