In reply to Newsweek Article - new drugs, posted by Bill L on January 8, 2002, at 14:56:16
Thank you for this information. You did mention that the issue of Newsweek is not dated, and I was about to ask you the date. Do you know whether it's still available on the newstands? By the way, Tianeptine also prevents the hippocampal atrophy caused by elevated corticosteroids. Tianeptine is a serotonin reuptake ENHANCER. It's mechanism of action is exactly the opposite of SSRIs and yet, its clinical efficacy is comparable to many other widely used antidepressants. Unfortunately, it is only available overseas. Perhaps your doctor can help you get it.
