There are two that come to mind, however, I think you should concentrate more on treating the depression, and let the antidepressants do the work on the cortisol.
1. ketaconozole
2. mifepristone (RU-486)
I think you should try Effexor first before moving on to other antidepressants. Have you tried a tricyclic antidepressant or an MAOI (monoamine oxidase inhibitor) like Parnate or Nardil?
