> I've heard great things about the corticotropin-releasing hormone antagonist drug trials that are ongoing. Has anyone out there been involved in the CRH-R drug trials? Where is most of the research being done? How long before an FDA approved CRH-R antagonist drug is available? Any MD's out there with first hand experience with these agents or with any thoughts on this intruiging treatment prospect?

im no doc but my cortisol levels are sky high and i have looked into this area a lot
anticort may be available soon of your over there
( u.s )
it directly reduces cortisol, other tries are ketaconazole, metyrapone and dilantin but the side effects may be prohibitive
i hope they bring one out soon but as ever the process will probably be a long one
all the best
