Hi John,

Yes, I was depressed when I was a DST suppressor. I think I've been depressed most of my life, but the two DST tests were done in 1996 and 2000. Both were "normal." My corticosteroid levels, however, have been consistently elevated for YEARS, regardless of whatever antidepressant I've been on - or off. I'm convinced that my hippocampus must be all shriveled up by now. Earlier this year, I tried Tianeptine, because I heard that it might reverse some hippocampal damage caused by excess cortisol. Unfortunately, I was unable to give the Tianeptine a long enough trial. I did try it for about a month, but I wasn't up to the therapeutic dose during most of that time, and I did not see much improvement in my mood during that brief trial. I might try it again some day, but not for a while.

Do you see a rheumatologist for your Raynaud's?
