Can taking too many different types of medications cause your body to shut down?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe: Of course it depends on the medication. If you had been taking cortisone orally for a long period of time, your adrenals which produce your own cortisone, shut down. This is why you must taper the dose allowing your adrenals to get back up to speed. Other areas depend on the specific drug.
