Brad - I thought CRH-antagonists were only for short-term use until the antidepressant kicked in. I believe I read that even in theory they won't be of much use in long-term therapy unless they find one with direct antidepressant or anti-anxiety activity as well as CRH-blocking activity. I could be wrong though. So far, the one's being tested have proven disappointing. They have shown some effect in resensitizing ACTH receptors in the adrenals. - Cam W.
