I quit tobacco and got my addrenals fixed with supplements now I'm always up by 5 even though I don't have a job.

What supplements help with that?

edit: I’m reading adrenal fatigue is not really supported as a condition in medical circles.

Adrenal fatigue is indeed pseudoscience. There is no scientific basis for the existence of adrenal fatigue, and the term should not be confused with a number of actual forms of adrenal dysfunction such as adrenal insufficiency or Addison's disease.
