Shellie, thanks for remembering! I am still doing tests for the cushing's. It takes several months. I don't get to see the endocrinologist until next month once all the basic testing is done. I have one more blood test this week where they try to drive down my cortisol level with steroids and see what happens.
As far being off the Nardil, it was a disaster!!! I was off less than a week and I completely fell apart. I called the MD and said the could diagnose the cushings with me on the Nardil, of I could stay off it and they could diagnose it at my autopsy! She agreed to me going back onto it. It took about 3 days to start getting the level back up again, but now I'm fine. Thank goodness! I'll keep you updated when I find anything out. Jennifer> > Jennifer, I just remembered that close to the beginning of me finding this board, you had to go off your meds to take tests for cushings disease. Then I didn't see you post for a long time and I forgot. So, you survived being off meds. How did your test come out; how are you feeling? Sorry, I didn't make the connection until this evening when I read the nardil thread that it was you who I had been posting to. Shellie
