    Best remedy for high cortisol from Benzo withdrawal?

    I was prescribed klonopin for 5 years and i have finally tapered off them. I am feeling a lot better but i feel like my adrenals i completely shot and benzos are notorious for messing with hpta during withdrawal. What is the best treatment for high cortisol?

    TIME is one thing you need. Be sure you eat a nice clean healthy diet high in fruits and veggies.
    Be sure to get plenty of rest (not too much though) and try to avoid high stress situations.

    I take 3 grams daily because we need it. I would do 3-5 and dose through out the day.

    Get rest, as stated above.
