thank you Dr. M,
I know.. I just don’t know how to do that right now. That is improve the HPA axis. when I can’t take HC.. Oh that’s not such good news about Toprol.. I only started it last night.I know that the thyroid is not getting into my cells simply by my symptoms. I have been hypo due to RAI for ten years. I was doing just fine on T4 alone. No depression, had energy, etc.. Just enjoying my life. I was a good converter. But now, I can just tell by everything.. Every aspect of my life. And I THINK it is because I don’t have the cortisol to help the thyroid get into my cells. I have been told that T4 alone will put more stress on the adrenals without enough cortisol. But I am afraid to stop taking my Levoxyl because basically, I don’t have a thyroid and I don’t know what it will do to me by not taking it, even though I can’t take HC.
As I have mentioned several times, and since you are so knowledgeable about meds and there interactions, do you think that the Klonopin and the HC are interacting? Because like I said I would be willing to come off of K if that were the case. I would just like your opinion on this if you have one.
thanks…..I usually do not see bad interactions with Clonazepam and Hydrocortisone. Rather, they tend to be synergistic – helping each other out when it comes to reducing stress signaling.
When a treatment, which is working fine, stops working well, then something else went wrong in the body.
Often, HPA Axis dysregulation occurs from nutritional problems. Thyroid also can stop working if there are nutritional problems involved.
Often, when a person tells me they eat well, I doubt it, particularly if they have a modern diet. Basic things to check, for example, would be the fat soluble vitamins (A, B12, D, for example), Folate, Homocysteine, and Ferritin.
Interestingly, one of my patients has low iron despite having high meat intake. This was because he drank excessive amounts of coffee – which impairs iron absorption.

Wait a minute.. GEEZE… It’s Lopressor that I just started to take.. Not toprol..
I looked at the bottle when i got it.. I knew that.. don’t know why I said toprol…Every beta blocker reduces T4 to T3 conversion. Thus one has to be careful when using a beta blocker. This is not to say both are mutually exclusive. It is just that thyroid hormone status has to be monitored and adjusted for when a beta blocker is present.
