In reply to SSRI's, 5-HT supplement shown to increase cortisol, posted by Shawn. T. on July 9, 2002, at 18:09:15
I'm starting to believe you on the remeron front. I'm such a skeptic. One 45 mg remeron dose put me to sleep for about 18 hrs then an amnestic hypnotic daze for the next two days. Horrible experience. Not that I doubt it works for some. Perhaps I just needed a higher dose.
Acutely the ssris raise cortisol but long term they supposedly normalize the HPA axis. Read that somewhere, at least.
You might like this rather technical on-line book that medlib (the wonderful medlib) recommended to me: http://www.acnp.org/g4/4thgen.php
Keep it up and figure out why my cortisol is high, will you?
Take care,
Kate
