Kind of late now.
Will get some links (of studies) together and send them out tomorrow.
Off the top of my head, I thought I recalled reading (at least in one study) where remission rates were still showing as excellent several months later.
BTW, do you have highly elevated cortisol levels? I don't believe that the RU486 therapy is a generalized treatment protocol, but specifically for people with highly elevated cortisol (which is driving the anxiety and / or depression) that exists due to a dysfunctional HPA Axis.

X> One of my concerns with the mifepristone 8-day protocol is that it will not have a persistent effect for someone like me (severe and chronic). I would anticipate needing several courses of treatments per year for the first several years. Even a compassionate use IND for mifepristone only allows two treatments per year.
