After 8 weeks of being on Florinef w/ potassium I started to feel less dizzy and started to have a desire go on walks. The down side is, after being on florinef for 8 weeks, I am having periods of extreme depression and horrific anxiety, so bad i cant eat at times. None of this happened untill the 8 week mark where anxiety hit me so bad I was crying (for no reason) yet underneath i felt a lot of energy and wanted to go for a walk.I wake up after 5-8 hours of sleep with decent energy (not like me, used to need 9-10 and have to stay in bed a bit after wake) but unbearable anxiety. The mental effects seem to come in waves, wake up in hell in the morning with the bad mental state and stomach wanting to throw up bile but the second half of the day is somewhat better and I always go to bed in a better mood without the anxiety and depression. No events happening in my life are bringing on these dark feelings, they seem to come out of nowhere and make very little sense, thats why i think its a side effect of something.. a shame because this drug clearly works for me in the way of curing the POTS symptoms - I have low aldosterone.
The only other thing I can think this is would be is withdrawal from gluten.
I also take 6mg of medrol which has helped greatly with my low cortisol.
I know this post is all over the place but I feel like im losing my mind at times, its horrific, i am crying a lot and my family are getting seriously worried. Ive been through so much in my life with undiagnosed Congenital Adrenal Hyerplasia yet never once experienced depression or the feeling of being trapped while i had so many hormones out of whack, thats why i really doubt this is coming from within.
