SSRIs increase cortisol? (was: Sledgehammer ....)

Is this true about SSRIs increasing cortisol levels? This is scary. I listened to the audio clip recommended by Larry Hoover:

and
http://www.3sistersapothecary.com/ram/anti-2.ram

While it is obvious that there are logical errors in this woman's (Tracy Ann Blake's) arguments, and she seems to have vested interests in essential oil sales, I'm still wondering how much truth is in this information.

What is everybody's opinion on these speeches? Is she full of "it", or are we in some danger? I think I am in a lot of danger with my depression (when depressed, I'm suicidal), but are the medication risks worth it? The medication doesn't work that well anyway. Am I really that much better off with the SSRI, I wonder? Lexapro only works when I smoke on it, so it doesn't seem the Lexapro is helping that much anyway, and the tobacco will kill me eventually. I'm so frustrated.
