I'd also like to add that I have seen several reports of anxiolytic effects shown from Mirtazapine very soon after the initiation of treatment. I can subjectively confirm this. I would guess that 5-HT2 or 5-HT3 regulates cortisol levels in the body (Remeron is an antagonist at these receptor sites).

> Sorry, I couldn't get that to post as a hyperlink, so you'll have to copy it. Mirtazapine is aka Remeron. That is really exciting news, but I think it warrants some more studies. Particularly, one of a larger scale that compares levels of cortisol before treatment, soon after the initiation of treatment, a week after, two weeks after, a month after, and two months after. This study really needs a follow up, I hope someone with some clout reads this.
