and then from http://www.freepatentsonline.com/6599896.html :


The Applicant has now discovered, surprisingly, that tianeptine is a modulator of glutamate receptors of the AMPA/kainate type and may therefore be used in the treatment of neurodegenerative pathologies.

L-glutamic acid and L-aspartic acid are capable of activating the neurons of the central nervous system, and numerous studies have demonstrated that these excitatory amino acids (EAAs) meet the defining criteria of a neurotransmitter; for this reason, modulation of the neuronal events associated with those EAAs appears to be a promising target for the treatment of neurological diseases.


what gives? why does one source say tianeptine modulates ampa and the other source says it prevents its overstimulation? Am I ruining my brain from over thinking this or am I ruining my brain by taking medicines that work in opposite manner?
