You're welcome.
I have my next round of cortisol testing done in about three weeks. That means that I will have been on the Remeron for about six weeks when the cortisol testing is done. I am, of course, hoping that the testing is going to show that the cortisol levels have come down significantly.
Following that my hope is that the lowered cortisol will in fact allow the HPA Axis to "re-set" and allow normal cortisol secretions to resume.
And of course following that is the hope that both the severe anxiety and various physical symptoms associated with this will start going away and medications can gradually be eliminated!
We will see.

P.S. I was started out on 15mg of Remeron and then, after two weeks moved to 30mg. Only side effect I had was extreme sedation at 15mg level and some remaining sedation SE at 30mg. I am going to talk to p doc next week about raising dosage to 45 mg or 60 mg to see if that SE then goes away.
