What have you taken for adrenal support besides steroids?

I just tried this herbal stuff my chiro gave me for my adrenals (cortisol is way too high throughout the day, especially in the morning), but there's a flower in it that broke my face out. I can't take steroids because I have osteoporosis. Aside from licorice, is there anything else you can take?
 
If your cortisol is too high during the day, you don't want to take licorice. A compound in licorice prevents the natural breakdown of cortisol in the body -- therefore licorice might actually INCREASE your problems. Though, for those w/LOW cortisol, perhaps licorice is worth a try.

Also, with high cortisol, you DON'T want steroids! That RX is also for low adrenal function.

To lower high cortisol, you might research phosphatidyl serine, sometimes abbreviated PS. It is a supp.

Some cases of high cortisol are due to syndromes requiring standard medical intervention. There are very effective meds to help suppress cortisol.

BTW, early onset osteoporosis can result from the high cortisol.

Best wishes.
