Suggest me just one affordable supplement for chronic high cortisol please

Always on panic mode, fight or flight, can't sleep, memory issues after many tests everything came back fine except I've found that I've high cortisol and constantly stressed out.

Tried some magnesium bisglycinate before but didn't work.

Ashwagandha (both full spectrum and extract from swanson, jarrows ksm66, life extension sensoril) didn't help. Maybe a brand issues? Dunno

My currently stack is d3, b complex, magnesium citrate.

I'm not that rich so please suggest me one or two affordable supplements that may help with my issues.

Regarding Ashwagandha, If you've a brand that really works for you im all ears.

New ADHD here Patient here (35 M), Please help out and sorry for the long and dumb post.

I don't know how to write this post but i wish someone can understand and guide me what to do or what's the next step.

My main issues was always scattered brain, unable to focus completely, can't complete any task without being distracted, my memory are totally unavailable short or long term memory, all my life is unorganized.

After meeting the new doctor i started trialing with different doses of Strattera and failed, then got prescribed Concerta (18 mg) after breakfast 2 months ago.

Honestly i was shocked!, after days of terrible headaches and stomach issues, my mind finally is so calm, i'm relaxed, no tons of ideas at the same moment, want to start and finish tasks.

so when i went to the doctor again and he asked me about my experience, i told him that everything is finally better, so he prescribed again 18mg concerta and added (10mg of escitalopram) because i also have PTSD and axiety issues.

but after a while i've found that the other main issues was still there, yes my mind is calm, im steady and stopped moving around all the time but i was still so easy to be distracted, can't do the task correctly if someone is talking near me, my memory is still so bad, still so hard for me to memorize anything i try to learn and forget it instantly.

luckily my next appointment with the doctor is after next week but i don't know what to say to him.

what shall i do?

is this the wrong dose for me or shall i ask to change the medication?

I'm all ears. and thanks in advance

عندي مشكله مع مزيلات العرق ومش لاقي حل، حد يساعدني لو مر بنفس التجربه

انا بره مصر وكنت بستخدم مزيل Dove men+ رول اون والدنيا كانت تمام بس اختفى من الاسواق اللي هنا، جربت ريكسونا ونيڤيا رول والاتنين بعد ما استخدمت كل واحد فيهم اول مره بدقايق بحس بألم ووجع غريب (مش حرقان) تحت الباط وبعد كم ساعه بحس ان دراعي بيبتدي ينمل لحد ماخد دش واغسل مكانه كويس والدنيا تهدي شويه والكلام ده عمره ما حصل مع دوڤ.

طبعا انا رميتهم بعد اول استخدام بسبب المصيبه دي

حد عنده تفسير؟

وممكن ترشيحات لمزيل عرق او ديودرانت يكون خفيف على الجلد ومايكونش بيسبب بقع او اصفرار للملابس من فضلكم

GERD and Ppi's people, how do you choose supplements?

GERD People who use omeprazole, pantoprazole, nexium and others how do you choose basic supplements like zinc, magnesium, iron, b complex and vitamin d?

You already have very low stomach acid so according to my dumb knowledge it will affect supplements absorption.
