The licorice should be mostly out of your system. I can't really help you other than the advice I already gave you. I also recommended that you give cascara a try. Just don't over do it.
I do understand where you are coming from. I had the lack of nerve response that you describe but it was from a nasty snowboarding injury that fractured my lower back and resulted in sciatica. On top of that, I was restricting calories like an idiot to the point where I developed hypothyroidism. That was years ago. I saw a chiropractor which helped things a little but what actually healed me was eating enough calories again.
Just be honest with your doctor. Tell him all of your symptoms and how you are feeling. Tell him you're having difficulty functioning. You can tell him that you've been doing some research and that you think you may have adrenal insufficiency, hypothyroidism, obstructed bowel, or whatever you think it is and ask him if he can run some tests. Also, ask him what he thinks may be causing your symptoms.
That's my advice, maybe someone else can chime in.
