Ive read studies showing that high levels of cortisol are a "predicter" of "poor response" to AD's (I think the study used MAOI's as an example). This provides an interesting correlation for your question there. The answer is it's possible for sure....research a lil if you have time - literature support for your idea is out there to aid in a line of argument.

> I just have a question,I hope bleauberry can answer this.Is it possible anti-depressants stop working because high levels of cortisol are lowered--which is one factor in making them WORK.---However if you use an antidepressant for years with good results,then when the drug slowly stops working maybe the medication lowered cortisol levels too much.--I do realize this is a hard question.
