I don't know if I'd agree with the notion that antidepressants will decrease cortisol.
A number of studies suggest the SSRI's (esp fluoxetine and sertraline) increase cortisol.
The only antidepressnats that have somewhat of a documented anti-cortisol effect are remeron and doxepine / amitriptyline. Some of the antipsychotics also decrease cortisol.
