Can I treat Adrenal Fatigue but still be a caffeine addict?
After a few years of foolish habits (drug abuse, then alcohol addiction–now sober from booze 6 months; drugs stopped 2 years ago) it seems my ongoing health problem is related to Adrenal Fatigue. It is likely that all the drugs (it was REALLY bad for a while) exhausted my adrenal gland, and now I’m left with this god-awful condition.
I am faced with Chronic Fatigue symptoms, brain fog, mental confusion, slight weakness, lack of motivation, etc. Exercise helps but does NOT cure these problems.
I’m too lazy to adjust my diet (an average diet, a decent balance of grains, vegetables, and proteins) if it needs fixing. But I am also VERY, VERY unwilling to break my addiction to caffeine. Without caffeine I am left in a constantly underaroused state due to preexisting factors–severe ADD. Everything is boring. I need my “daily fix” of stimulation or I’m just slow and dreamy, and I can’t focus.
Is there ANY way to treat Adrenal Fatigue without giving up my caffeine addiction?

Congratulations on Kicking the drugs and alcohol !!!!
I used vitamin B complex – co enzyme A – L-Tyrosine – vitamin C – in addition to my multi-vitamins and minerals.
Check your resources of Health Stores (GNC is ok)
Look up Adrenal Disorders in the book—
Prescription for Nutritional Healing.
There are a lot of recommendations there.
Good Luck

Zing from HCBL in Florida,it’s a supplement with gingko,gotu cola,bee pollen and ginseng.It’s really good when you are groggy or down.
Plus a regular vitamin like one a day,not a mega dose or stress dose except b-6 is good for nerves up to 50 mgs.
