Hi Jeff... I'm so sorry to hear what a rough time you are having. Psychotic depression is so tough to deal with. I don't know where you live (I feel it might be California, for some reason), but I was thinking that you might be interested in the trials of Mefipristone which are being carried out at Stanford and NIH. I believe they are for people with psychotic depression and high cortisol levels. Do you know what your cortisol levels are? They are reporting a 60% remission rate with seven-day mefipristone treatment. There is an old thread with more information on it which just got reactivated today- see above. (Mefipristone is misspelled "Mefipristole" Wishing you lots of luck,
