Hi: I'm taking cortef, 15 mg a day, but having to supplement with some isocort(about 3 pellets) as this dose of cortef is just not enough. I've found my blood pressure has gone down on the med. so speculate that I was running on adrenaline before. I'm sleeping better too, but still wake with a start around 1 am. I think that's because I dip too low at that time. I do some push-ups(bizarre, I know) and then I'm relaxed and can go back to sleep for the night.
Question: What's the highest dose of cortef that you've taken? Also, has anyone experience the waking problem, and, if so, have you come up with any solutions?
