Thanks for your suggestions. I’m so tired. Today I’m also edgy. Makes that cortisol theory spot on. Have you finished your taper? And off Effexor ? Have you found foods which help?

Yes, I have finished my taper and am completely off of meds and it honestly is great. Food that helps are ones high in magnesium including spinach and leafy greens (I have eaten spinach and veggies every single day once I found out my cortisol levels were high). Cinnamon, dark chocolate (try to find w/no sugar), broccoli, seeds (I eat chia seeds and flax seeds everyday), nuts, olive oil, and probiotics (could be a probiotic supplement taken daily). I also eat berries, oranges, ginger and drink green tea to help lower my glucose levels since cortisol also causes you glucose levels to rise!
