Strangely enough, the pill doesn't contain cortisol, it's just that in some people hormonal birth control of any kind (especially when you are voluntarily suppressing your periods) can cause your body's hormones to get out of whack. Things like your estrogen, testosterone and progesterone get very screwed up, and your body's way of compensating is by overproducing cortisol.

So unfortunately, IF that is the cause...it basically means no more hormonal birth control for me. Which leaves the big question - to have a hysterectomy or not.
