I don't see how I can get my Testosterone level down if my adrenals continue on overdrive!
Since you mentioned testosterone, I wanted to comment on my own experience with elevated testosterone: my anxiety was at its worst when my testosterone reached an all-time high. I was having panic attacks regularly for the first time in my life, and I wasn't sleeping well. I reached a breaking point and finally caved in on my doctor's recommendation to start bcp. I noticed a significant difference in my anxiety level not long after I started bcp, which I assumed had a lot to do with it helping to lower my testosterone level.

I think you are definitely on the right track in connecting the two--testosterone and adrenal glands--but I don't really know too much more about it. Please let us know what you find out and keep us up-to-date on your progress!
