I've been thinking about you too, Elroy. Seems like it might have been a good idea to test the cortisol levels immediately before or immediately after you stopped the Remeron (instead of letting the anxiety increase again before testing).
It would be interesting as well to see what happened if you took enough of a benzo to completely stop anxiety for a couple of months. If your cortisol levels were low at the end of that time, seems like you could surmise that lowering anxiety lowered the cortisol and not vice versa.
Anyway, good luck and good thoughts.
