Remeron, aka Mirtazapine has been shown to reduce levels of cortisol in the bloodstream soon after the first dose. I think this study deserves a follow-up to determine how Mirtazapine affects cortisol levels in later stages of treatment, not just soon after initial treatment. I think this may explain why some people report feeling better soon after initiating treatment with Remeron. I would guess Mirtazapine's properties as a 5-HT2 or 5HT-3 antagonist would result in the lower levels of this stress affecting substance. I previously posted this as a reply, but I think it deserves its own thread.
