Scott/Jane,
I was wondering about the possiblity of getting evaluated for a DST (dexamethasone suppression test)? I have never done this. Do I need to see an endocrinologist?

Scott had indicated a long time ago he was a DST non-suppressor (which is a norm for major depression), I was wondering myself if it was possible to get stuck in a hypocortisolemia state and become a DST super-suppressor. This could give very erratic AD/stimulant poop out.
People with MDD who have adrenal exhaustion or perhaps a history of PTSD may have a hypocortisolemia state. I believe detecting this can significantly alter ones treatment strategy.
