Have you had a diagnosis of hypothyroidism? Do you have a copy of your latest labs? If you're hypo, green tea is not going to replace hormones.

If you want to know if you have a problem with your adrenals, get yourself a 24 hour saliva cortisol test.

If you are relying on caffeine and other stimulanrts to get you going, your adrenals will probably fail - if they haven't already.
