In reply to Does tianeptine really work for depression? (nm), posted by zeugma on September 21, 2003, at 15:30:10
In my personal experience (taking 100 mg tid for 8 months, it is not a strong antidepressant. During times when I have the depression under pretty good control, I stop lexapro and take tianeptine because there are such good reported brain-protective effects (increased BNDF, protection of the hippocampus from shrinkage by cortisol, normalizing of neurotransmitter levels). It is considered a good AD in Europe, especially in France, but I have not found any strongly favorable reports here. Have you had any personal experience with it?
