Right now I take Celexa, and Trazadone and love them! But only by burning... and i am not exagerating 3-5 thousand calories a week am I Maintianing my weight at 195.
Last night I ran for an hour and 10 minutes and burnt 1100 calories, Softball on Mondays, and hiking or running on the weekends. I try to eat right but I crave sugar like a mad woman.
My Phychologist suggested that because of my extreme PTSD from childhood abuse I might have adrenal gland failure...
Is anyone else familure with this?
My GP tested my thyroid which is normal, Adrenal Gland tests are best done by a specialist, which I am not sure I want to go too. Especially considering there doesn't seem to be any true treatment for it other then "chilling out".
Has anyone successfully delt with Adrenal Failure?

I have Complex PTSD with aspects of both borderline and dissosiative personality disorders. I have tested for low thyroid and my brother, who is licensed naturopath believes that I also suffer from adrenal dysfuncton...so never had that test also. good lucky in getting the help that you need. wish the best for you.
I just did a post in the Military Health Issues Community because there are so many coming home from war needing information and resources.
I hope you'll take a look at it, it's about EMDR and treatment for PTSD, anxiety, depression, ocd, panick attacks, and more. Best Regards ~
