Nothing! At the times, most docs called my saliva tests my "silly little internet test!"

Do you take any supplements to support your adrenal glands?
Phosphatidylserine (pretty pricey)
Melatonin (GREAT for knocking me out at night!)
Holy Basil (don't have any experience with this one)

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!
How high is your testosterone? Are estrogen and progesterone normal?

It's funny because high cortisol can mirror some high testosterone symptoms like hair growth, hair loss, acne, etc.
