Adrenal Fatigue is coined as the 21st Century stress disorder for a reason, you are locked in a permanently on 'stress mode'. If you caught it early and your cortisol is high, then you have an easy way back, if your cortisol is low (which is what I suspect) then you cant chill out, because you have to much adrenaline and too little cortisol then the journey can be longer.

Shot gunning vitamins that other people recommend is a dangerous thing to do..trust me, i did the same! its all about self monitoring, seeing what one introduction of one vitamin does, and then waiting for a week before introducing another one, but learning about each vitamin and the ones that are needed for adrenal recovery. Zinc for example isnt the first line, it comes further down the chain of healing.

I suggest before reading other peoples posts, to read James Wilsons book Adrenal FAtigue and Dr Lams website. This will explain everything to you.

SSRI's are great because they are stimulating, basically stimulate your adrenals to produce cortisol, so you feel better in a matter of months, however they are not repairing nor healing your system when you come off then, the s***t will hit the fan because youve been running on heavy stimulants for a LONG time.

And everyone mentions phosphatyl serine, not sure why you think they dont. Its brand name is called Seriphos, and is a big tool in the calming of the HPA system.

You wont get a salivia ASI test out of your Endo, they will laugh at you if you ask. They will do morning cortisol and possibly an ACTH test, both useless in determing how well your adrenals are, and how healthy, but will rule out Addisons and Cushings. If you endo dosent come back with anything wrong, then you need to look towards hollistic therapies because like me, theres nothing they will do and the drugs they may give you like anxiety meds will make you even worse in the long run.

Read the literature, and possibly get in touch with either Dr Lam or Dr Neville at the Clymer Healing Centre. There is also Nutritional balancing to look at. All programmes have pros and cons. If you do it all right and listen to your body, you can be better in 6-12 months, but if you mess it up and listen to others and dont listen to my body (i.e keep working 20 hours a day thinking supplements are gonna do somethng magic) then it can take years after you finally give in.

Mediation and yoga needs to become an every day thing, routine, its discipline. At first, it horrible,like your mind hates what you are trying to do, but keep at it, and its benefits will come. This is just as important as supplements, diet, lifestyle etc.

Whatever you do, keep off the carbs and sugar, caffiene, sex, p 0 r n, masturbation, loud places, loud people, action movies, anything stimulating. Imagine living by yourself on a lake in the middle of nowhere with no tv, no mobile phone, no internet, that is the type of lifestyle you need to try and instigate into your normal everyday life. But god its hard!

Good luck!
