Hypothesis: Norepinephrics tend to stablilize cortisol level and serotonegircs tend to increase/stimulate cortisol level... Lexapro being the purest of ALL SRIs with any significant affinity for norepinephrine receptors/transporter.. it's the one who stimulate the most elegantly cortisol release ?I didn't search it out. I'm just basing this hypothesis on what you report in your post. Just trying to make sense of everything with the fact that Escitalopram is by far the most selective of the SRIs.
