Tianeptine made me feel "high" on two occasions...I don't know what I would compare it to. It might just have been a hypomanic episode and not a psychostimulant effect. I don't have bipolar, but any antidepressant has the potential to cause hypomania and even mania.
I remember feeling so "comfortable" and in a great mood and wanting to hug everything. I suppose that sounds slightly like MDMA. Could be it's action on serotonin.
I do know that if it wasn't for the headache that higher doses give me, I would probably take more tianeptine to try to feel that "boost" it gave me those few times. :)
In fact, tianeptine was classified as a controlled substance in Bahrain and Singapore due to a few cases of abuse.
I hope this one doesn't go the way of Survector. SSRI manufacturers were probably behind the demise of amineptine and I wouldn't be surprised if they tried the same against tianeptine, although tianeptine isn't all that good in most people from what I've read.
Survector was just too good of an antidepressant with far less side effects than others on the market. Something too good like that doesn't stand a chance against Eli Lilly, GlaxoSmithKline, AstraZeneca, etc.
Anything close to a "cure" for depression will be given the axe.
