Dear Frog - thank you for your reply, and for giving us more information about yourself. I hope the Marsilid will prove to be helpful. I believe that, like other MAOI's, it increases the levels of all three neurotransmitters- serotonin, norepinephrine and dopamine- so it may work well.
I am under the impression that mefipristone is much more readily available in Europe than it is here- and has been used more often for Cushing's Disease. You could be said to have "pseudo-Cushing's Syndrome". Even though the cause is not a tumor, the drug treatment would be the same. I would really try to choose that one over ketanozodole, as you always have to worry about your liver function with ketanozodole, and mefipristone has such a good safety profile.
I do wish you the very best in getting into a full remission- and hope you will keep us informed about what treatments you decide upon.
