Question for AndrewB, CamW, others about Procaine

Posted by JasonL on February 8, 2001, at 13:00:30

Hi,

I've been doing a lot of research on the cortisol aspect of depression. GH3 is noted as an inhibitor of cortisol which could potentially help my depression.

I have high cortisol levels.

GH3 is also considered a weak, reversable MAO inhibitor. Looking at the precautions on my Paxil, it says to avoid MAO inhibitors. Ouch! I want to try to reduce my cortisol levels. Does this mean I need to go off the Paxil which I just started?

Have you heard of people using Procaine with SSRI concurrently?

Any help appreciated.

JasonL

Json,

I'm not up to speed on this. Sunnely is probably the best to ask. I use 5-Keto DHEA. It does not lower cortisol levelsbut it does protect against damage to the hippocampus by cortisol. Available in health food stores. 1/2 price at various internet sites. Apparently it is safe because., unlike DHEA, it does not convert int sex hormones. I take 100mg./day.
