I have found rhodiola helpful. I take the Gaia brand, 240 mg. twice daily, and feel that it helps to lower both anxiety and depression. I think it helps with sleep too, although I'm not sure as I take both doses fairly early in the day. Because I know my cortisol levels tend to be elevated, I've tried to zero in on things known to lower it - tianeptine, TMS, rhodiola, massage, meditation and psychotherapy with a focus on relatedness and attachment. On good days, I feel I have close to a 100% remission; on not so good days, about 75%.
Because of the central role stress hormones play in the changes in the hippocampus associated with reactive depression, it would be SO wonderful if we had a medication which safely and reliably lowered cortisol!
