Re: Metyrapone May Be Effective as Additive Treatment

Hi.

Thanks for the heads-up.

I read one study that claimed ketoconazole, another cortisol synthesis inhibitor, was more effective than metyrapone. I don't know how easy it would be to acquire metyrapone, as it is only used as a test to assess adrenal function. On the other hand, ketoconazole has been used for years as an anti-fungal, and is easily available. I don't know why I haven't tried it yet. I should have. I am currently looking at mifepristone (RU-486), a cortisol receptor antagonist, as a treatment for bipolar depression.
