Additional advantages of Tianeptine:
This drug is, in my experience, an excellent pain reliever (SSRIs do the same thing, but the mechanism of action is unknown). Many depressed patients experience an increase in 'somatic' and other types of pain, often poorly localized and of unknown cause. Some antidepressants help, and some don't. Tianeptine helps.
Also, alcohol should not be consumed while taking most antidepressants, and when I did so on SSRIs, 'atypical' antidepressants, and tricyclics, it always lowered by mood and made me apathetic the morning and day after. The one exception was Tianeptine.
In my experience, you can drink modest amounts of alcohol with Tianeptine, with no noticeable interaction between the two. I've never tried drinking more.
