Depends on the dose too. My poor neighbor (late 20s lady, way too young for all her problems) had to take a "might-kill-you" dose of cortisol to survive, beyond the "max" her doctor initially told her (1150 of some units, max was 1000, regular dose is 100). She suffered the whole list of potential side effects, some of which are quite terrifying and gross. Thankfully she gets to live however, which wouldn't be the case was she born a couple decades earlier.
