What do you all take for adrenal fatigue? OR what helped you heal your adrenals? Success stories would be wonderful!

I'm still treating, so I'm not a success story - yet.

I started out being at the bottom (or end) of stage 3 adrenal fatigue, and so I was started on desiccated whole adrenal complex. While I believe that's what I needed at the time, my doctor wouldn't change my treatment when I felt like I was no longer healing, so just recently, I took it upon myself (I do NOT recommend doing this!!!) to stop the desiccated adrenal and went back to a homeopathic product I had used successfully the first time I was healing (NatraBio's Adrenal), and am now finally seeing progress again. :-)

I've only been using the NatraBio for a few weeks, and have switch my thyroid meds back to the NatraBio Thyroid as well. I'm expecting continued healing now.

Do be sure that you eat enough protein daily, that you rest as you need (including napping if you can) and to avoid stress just as much as you can. Stress plays a massive part in adrenal fatigue.

I wish you the best!!

My sister JUST read me an article about great herbs to keep on hand and licorice root for adrenals was one of them. If you do an internet search there are plenty of articles. It's new to me but sounds like it may be worth checking out.

Thanks Trav! I'll look into that supplement. I've tried two different ones now with great ingredients but just aren't responding how I want. I've had a huge improvement of my symptoms overall just my darn fatigue will not improve. :(

I would also encourage you to look into adaptogenic herbs like ashwagandha. Ashwagandha helps to balance the function of not only the adrenals, but the thyroid too. One word of caution though, for me I found that I couldn't take it at night, as it kept me awake, so I take 2 doses - 1 first thing in the am and then another around 2 pm so that I can sleep at night. This may be because my adrenal function is still much too low, so any stimulation is too much, or just because my body is weird, as most take it at night and it even helps them sleep.

I already take many of the other herbs that are good for adrenals, so I had to find something else. Ashwagandha has made a huge difference in my energy levels.
