Do SSRIs really raise cortisol to dangerous levels

Posted by SDA on July 27, 2004, at 13:48:16

I just read a rather disturbing article on the subject of pediatric psychiatry (http://www.antidepressantsfacts.com/tracy-cortisol-hypoglycaemia.htm). While I can see that it is clearly very biased and should be taken with a grain of salt, I am also curious about the claims it makes about cortisol. According to the article, SSRIs can double your level of cortisol with a single dose, causing brain damage. This is of particular concern to me since I was on 200mg of Zoloft from age 11 to 18.

Anyone care to comment on this?
