For anyone to get to that point is very dangerous... it can kill you. I preferred to go the alternative route. I know it will take longer to get better but I wouldn't be dependent on pharm. drugs plus no side effects. Sugar and caffeine are very hard on the adrenals and NEVER fast when you have adrenal problems. I also found out I was very anemic and started on iron pills. Once I get stablized there I will switch to black strap molasses. The day I found out I had adrenal insufficiency I went to the chiro's and he gave me dessicated adrenal with contained some pituitary and another gland. The endrocrine glands all hold hands with one another, so if you have one tested, get them all tested! My pituitary was off the charts also as were the ovaries and my thyroid was low too. I take ashwagandha(sp) for the adrenal also, its safe, as with the licorice you have to be careful with extended usage. Maca, which seems to have helped my desire for sweets along with ginseng for energy, multi B, pascalite clay, salmon oil, Vitex combo(ovaries) and enzymes when I eat. The combination of all these seems to be doing the trick... I am slowly but surely feeling better with each day. Oh yes.. drinking water, water, water!
