I don't think your questions have yet been investigated adequately to give answers to.
CRH receptors are present in different areas of the brain that are not at all related to HPA axis regulation. In other words, it is worth giving a CRH antagonist a try despite normal HPA function.
Do you have unipolar atypical depression? There is some thought that atypical depressives have a tendency to be hypocortisolemic, and that using dexamethasone as therapy might be effective in such circumstances.
