I personally have not heard of using a cortisol lowering drug to fight anxiety or depression but that does sound interesting. I have thought of elevated cortisol being an effect of anxiety. But I never thought of it as being a cause.

Do you have very high cortisol levels? If so, have you been checked to rule out medical problems affecting the gland that makes cortisol? I think it's the adrenal gland but I'm not sure.

Do you have anxiety or depression? If so ,what meds have you tried?

Results seemed to be mixed and dependent on basil cortisol levels in patients. My own cortisol levels are high and I have been treatment resistent thus far.
