Remeron, tianeptine and TCAs like trimipramine affect the HPA axis to reduce cortisol and other stress hormones.
I remember reading a study in which people taking the MAOI isocarboxazid (Marplan) needed less prednisone. Maybe this was because it increased the body's natural cortisol levels? It's worth checking on pubmed etc. for studies. I'll have a look if I get time tomorrow.
