Caffeine is also heavily involved in my attacks.

coachjeff, I am so glad you posted this. Do you have a link to the article? I have very similar attacks. I'm discovering they are much more related to stress and caffeine than sugar or carbs. I've had to give up my beloved iced tea.

Like others who posted, I can't go very low carb - it's too hard on my adrenals. I am better when I supplement with adrenal support. Also, Emerg C really helps when I'm in the midst of an attack.

It's nice to hear about others who understand irrational anger, and over reactive irritability.

One symptom I didn't see anyone else mention is sleeplessness. Whenever I don't take care of my adrenal health I experience the worse insomnia. Nothing is more frustrating than being dog tired but unable to fall asleep.
