Statins

[Scalloplover]

Hi all.

Thankyou all for previous advice .

I’m doing well tapering , now down to 8mg and reducing to 7 on Sunday.

I’ve been reading posts about adrenals and cholesterol and am wondering if the statins I’m taking for high cholesterol will affect this.,

If you mean the fact that cholesterol is required to produce many hormones including cortisol - no. There will still be plenty to produce cortisol when the adrenal glands get up and running again.
