Tianeptine

Posted by jaybee9 on September 2, 2007, at 9:23:56


I have been taking tianeptine for three months now, for depression and social anxiety, and I think its working but only slightly. I have also been adding amisulpride at various doses but not sure that really helps. I want to continue with the tianeptine but I definately need something to add to increase the anti depressant effect. Does anyone have any ideas as to what I could add.

Thanks for any help

I don't think this is a good combo. Tianeptine/Amisulpride, It's unchartered territory, and from my own brief experience of using them in close proximity, (time wise)I suspected an increased propensity to suffer amisulpride related side effects.Dystonias, trembling, longer term dysphoria on stopping either.
Bupropion/Tianeptine is one that I'd try if I had to. Or Tianeptine/ Oxcytocin ( nasal spray)
While I wouldn't encourage a depressed person to drink. I found Tianeptine with 2-3 glasses of wine a day quite acceptable.

Good luck

Thanks for the advice but I've read alot of posts saying that bupropion (wellbutrin) makes people quite anxious, which I really don't want with the social anxiety.

Actually, I have anxiety but Wellbutrin didn't make me anxious at. I even took 600 mgs without having a panic attack.
