They usually use hydrocortisone which is much weaker than the synthetic prenisone. They use doses in the ranges of 5 - 20 mg and one of the brand names used is cortef.

Please disregard Phillip's post. She is referring to very high dose prednisone over long periods which can be dangerous.

The dose of hydrocortisone (natural cortisone) which is 5 - 20 mg is equivalent to 1 to 5 mg of prednisone. If there is adrenal fatigue there is usually a fast and dramatic response in terms of mood and energy.

Once the adrenals are refreshed is a good time to do blood work on the thyroid. It's like the domino effect. When the adrenals are exhausted the production of other hormones suffer and once they are refreshed ther other hormones can be produced.

Actually a simple enough test to do if you can find cortef.
