Re: Saliva test results. What should I do? Please help

Hey Amber,

believe it or not your cortisol curve isnt as bad as mine was when i did my ASI test, but that was two years ago. Mine was literally, 4, 3,2,1.4 , which on the scale on my test was so low it could barely be marked.I think yours uss a different scale. DHEA/Cortisol balance was HIGH but DHEA low. but yes Benzos and that wellbrutin stuff will push cortisol up, as they do with sodium and potassium levels. If you look my past messages up, my ASI test will be somewhere.

Dr Lam gave me DHEA, at 2.5mg dose, I went literally insane. I was so hyped up I went and rode my bike thirty miles, and was still bouncing off the walls, sex drive went through the roof, but it was all completely wired energy. That was a tiny dose as well and before benzos. The exact same thing happened with preg....and boy was the crash after that pretty nasty, quite possibly the worst I ever had. I know Sherpa had some good results with Preg though.

I did try them again a few weeks later but exactly the same thing happened, so stopped using them, thats when i lost faith in Dr Lam.

I know Aerose took hormones and benzos together and it crucified him.

One thing to take into account with the ASI test is the type of day you where having. See if you were going to work, or excercising, the cortisol level would be higher naturally. Thats why its tough to rely on it 100 percent.

Could it be your experiencing the benzo WD fatigue that everyone gets?
