I had adrenal insufficiency symptoms too, severely, due to topical steroids last year, and I kept having constant new opportunistic infections cropping up, including a stye on my lower lid, urinary tract, skin infections, etc. It's very common with the immune compromise wrought by steroids.

I also experienced extreme anxiety, even waking from sleep with jitters and unfounded worrying.

Do your taper as slowly as you need to while your adrenals try to wake up.
