> I am interested in mifepristone as well. I have unusally high progesterone and severe depression/anxiety that is not responsive to anything since paxil withdrawal. A hormone researcher came into work the other day and she mentioned trying to reset my hormones with mifepristone, but I know of no doctor who will go along with this. I know I need to get my cortisol checked etc but I am so depressed etc I just don't have the gumption to keep getting tested etc.

> I admire how you all keep going. I just stop going to the doctor/psychiatrist because I feel too hopeless and at this point there really isn't anything I can take anyway because my stomach is so bad.Hi Sarah, I'm the one who just completed the eight day mifepristone trial. Although I'm on very heavy medications and haven't felt too much, the doctor said that many people find that after going on mifepristone for a short period, than switching medications they find that their medications work much better than they previously did. In my case, Prozac worked brilliantly then pooped out four montsh later, so I'm hoping to restore original efficacy, I just have to get off the numbing regimen of medications I'm on now. Hang in there the study Coordinator at Stanford, said that hopefully mifepristone would be approved in a year - maybe that's pie in the sky.... I'll post developments.
