what help lower or block cortisol

[swol]

Well here is the deal....i look pretty damn full....but i think i am holding water from all the stress of my mothers death. I got on the scale this moring and was 214.5. 7 bound heavier than last weeek. Not good at 3 weeks from a show. I dont look much diff.

Only thing I know of is Cytadren, I used it years ago but only as a anti-aromataze so the dosing was much different at 125mg/day (half a tab). I think it starts having effect on cortisol above 250mg/day. I seem to remember Paul Borreson liking using it in the last week or so before a show at 2-3 tabs a day. I could find the exact info if you'd like..........

Sorry to hear of your loss BTW

Phosphatidlyserine pick it up at local health food stores...

300-600 mg a day depending on bodyweight... prolly around 600 for your weight

This item can get expensive, but I do beleive it works in proper doses.
On the pharm side ******* have been shown to blunt cortisol production.

I believe the main hormone effected by Cytadren is cortisol. Then estro and other hormones (almost all of them!). Use only short term or your body will adapt to the lower cortisol by producing ACTH, a hormone similar to cortisol.
I had some rough effects from this drug years back, using it for too long. Maybe 2wks would be OK.

Sorry about your loss bro.

Be very careful w/ this stuf I tried once and felt very sick all the time. Altdactone is also go for holding water. it is not a duertic but an aldastrone inhibitor. (sorry about the spelling) When the body gets stressed or low on water your body releases aldastrone and you hold water. I use 25mg every day for 10 days out before a show and that is all i use for a duertic.

Good luck!

Sorry about your Mom...PS is IMO the best option, it will help and you cant fuck yourself up on it..Cytadryn works good from what i read but you gotta be carefull with it, it can be tricky..I would personally not use it..hers another option that has been proven to blunt cortisol without afftecting the actual adrenal gland...Stablon (tianeptine) its a antidepressant and sociabaliser...increases the uptake of serotonin instead of like ssri's that block the uptake...you can get it at overseas pharms..without a script and legal 3 months supply..its short acting so you have to take it 3-4 times per day..but it will work...good luck with watever you choose..
