Thanks for the encouragement. Your statement that SSRI's normalize the HPA axis seems accurate to me. I'm determined to figure out SSRI poopout and maybe an eventual loss of ability to normalize the HPA axis could explain this. I would guess that the cause of the effect you describe relates to 5HT-1a autoreceptors in the raphe nucleus. Perhaps. Yet more reading for me to do.
