My first test came back with elevated cortisol in the evening and night, which explains why I can't sleep!!
I ended up purchasing a saliva cortisol test online, the results of which were the same as yours, Carmen: elevated cortisol in the evening and night. My DHEA-S was within the normal range, although the lab noted that it was lower than normal for my age. What was recommended for you, following your cortisol test results? Do you take any supplements to support your adrenal glands?

Like I said before, I basically gave up trying to treat the anxiety and lower my testosterone naturally and just went on bcp as a quick fix. But, I'd love to what else I could do about it, as I don't see bcp as a part of my long-term treatment plan. Thanks!
