Is this a sign of adrendal recovery?

I am tapering down to 2 mg. I have been distinctly feeling like doing more in a day. I seem to feel motivated to get things done. I still find that I need to go easy on the cardio, when doing my stationary bike. But the main thing is that I feel motivated and don't need to take long breaks between each task. I have a variety of projects and can move between one and another.

A downside is that I often wake up at 3:30 or 4, try to get back to sleep then can't so just get up. This makes be very tired by 7 or 8, so I go to bed around 9.

Before, I sometimes would sit a long while, feel depressed, leave unwashed dishes at night. But now I'd rather get things done and feel like cleaning up the kitchen before going to bed.

I am wondering if this is a sign that my adrenals are feeling ready to work again?

It is what I would assume. Good luck!

Does sound like it… and it’s good that the depressed feelings have disappeared, but they are not on full throttle yet. Good news though.

Sounds like it! I’m impressed with the cardio. Always be prepared for a hiccup in case of a run of busy days, a one off physical upset, illness that can inexplicably make them shut up shop. The signs are good though.

That is what I'd assume - and welcome it with pleasure but not take for granted! Long may it continue to improve.
