high cortisol and trying to raise ndt

[fitzy138]

hi there I had started taking thiroyd last month I was fine for a couple of weeks until I tried to raise my dose to 11/2 grains then it went down hill a bit. I had the adrenaline going all day with very little energy which prompted me to get a 24hr adrenal test. it shows I am high afternoon and evening so I started taking zinc to get to sleep which works but I still cant take any raise at the moment so I'm feeling all the old symptoms of hypo but much worse. any ideas or help would be much appreciated with how to treat adrenals while raising ndt would be amazing. is it possible.

at wits end ...

have a good day
