> I just tried Tianeptine a couple months ago. I was kind of excited about it at first because of my negative reaction to SSRI's. I actually just threw it away earlier this week. It may be mildly helpful but I didn't notice a whole lot(Note: I only took it for about a week and a half). By accelerating the uptake of serotonin it makes dopamine & norepinephrine more available. So actually, you could try something that raises dopamine/norepinephrine levels. From my experience breathing is smoother on Deprenyl(Mao-B Inhibitor). By selectively inhibiting only Mao-B it doesn't raise serotonin levels. Deprenyl can also be helpful for a lot of other things. >>
I have thought about ordering deprenyl. Maybe I will now.
Do you take any other ADs?
Do you have asthma? Is that why you started the tianeptine or was it just bc you didnt have any luck with seratonin enhancing meds?
I did really well on wellbutrin but it pooped out. I am taking amino acids and strattera, now, too, which is okay, but my asthma is coming back.
You didnt notice anything with the tianeptine?
