The half-life of tianeptine is only 2.5 hours. This is very short and according to a psychiatrist I know, taking it less than 3 times a day wouldn't be advisable as it would lack efficacy.
As far as I know, all antidepressants, with the exception of fluoxetine (Prozac), must be taken daily, with the short-acting compounds being taken more than once a day.
