It depend on if the symptoms are caused by drugs, a pituitary tumor, or an adrenal tumor!. If it is a tumor, they have to remove it (Surgery), and you end up with major hormone replacement therapy the rest of your life--sorry!. If it is from some drug you are taking, then you will be tapered off of it and it will go away!. Pituitary tumor -- brain surgery-- is probably the worst case scenario!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
