My cortisol level on imipramine monotherapy several years ago was elevated ... about 25. After augmenting it with 900mg of lithium (serum level of .6), my cortisol level dropped to 3. I also felt a thousand times better too! I had a mild tremor, some memory difficulties with the combo. I think lithium, TCAs, MAOIs are great tried and true medications. I also think effexor is a great medication.
Best of luck.
