Adrenal insufficiency

Hi! I was diagnosed with adrenal insuffisance and the endo put me on hydrocortison 30 mg ED «*to boost me*» but after a month I’m still lethargic.

Maybe another corticoïd will work better, anyone have tips to get the most from cortisone supplements or a better medication ? Thanks
 
With adrenal insufficiency, DHEA-S is also a big concern. Might be low. I'd get it tested. Also test for aldosterone.

I've been using 25mg of hydrocortisone daily for about 10 years now. (10mg in AM, 5mg at noon, then tapered down till early evening).

Ok I’ll ask for DHEA and aldosterone, I did an ACTH test and wait for results

Edit : just had a message from the doc he said the ACTH test reveal my adrenals are ok and I have to stop hydrocortisone
