I do for myself personally. There have been times that I have been under a lot of stress (and yes I did go to Disneyland in 1995 with my daughter and after going on some of those rides I felt awful and needed to stress dose)-  anxiety and  fear will do me in. I will start shaking within minutes of having a stressful situation and I definitely DO need extra steroids (I take Dex.) 35 minutes after taking an extra .5 of Dex I'm doing a lot better. I also (through trial and error) take an extra .5 before hiking (tried taking less but I can't) and then the rest of the day is OK - when I don't I'm not in good shape - white as a ghost, trouble talking, don't want to eat, feel dizzy and stare into space - headache too. I had to stress dose last week when we found our cat under the house with a badly broken leg. And no - I can't watch scary movies either! By the way, I'm not a saltwaster.
