In terms of controlling haywire HPA axis activity, the SSRI's are not terrably good.
The TCA's and mirtazapine are better, and Tianeptine is better yet.
Imipamine and other TCA's but not SSRI's have effects on the HPA axis gene expresson. Perhaps why they are more effective for certin melancholic depression.
The best way to tame overactive HPA axis is just some plain old marajuanna. Don't think its the THC, but some other constituents have significant effect on the HPA axis.
