Skeptical.: While promoted by various alternative medicine sites and "holistic" healers, adrenal fatigue isn't an accepted medical diagnosis. Keep a skeptical eye towards anything that sounds too good to be true - including supplements (especially if marketed by the doc). Supplements are largely unregulated - their purity and safety aren't tested. Most are useless. Common sense diet and exercise is best.

How do you feel?: If you feel fine, seek a second opinion. If you feel fatigued, might as well give it a try.

Adrenal insufficienc: Adrenal insufficiency is a grave disease. Is your diagnosis adrenal insufficiency, or "fatigue". Fatigue might be due to different disease or condition, such as sleep deprivation, depression, narcolepsy, fibromyalgia, ......... I suggest that you see an endocrinologist first, and get your adrenal checked.
