To be accurate, some studies detected a slight bit of reuptake inhibition. Who knows?
Trimipramine inhibits cortisol secretion? That's excellent. The "stress" hormone? In short bursts, cortisol reduces inflammation. However, chronic hypercortisolism produces the opposite effect. Brain inflammation is the result.
