Hi.

Thanks. That's pretty cheap.

Sorry for the misunderstanding. I have never tried tianeptine.
In 1987, I was placed on a combination of Parnate + desipramine. It was the only treatment that ever brought me into a true remission. Unfortunately, I became manic after 6 months. Both drugs were discontinued. I relapsed into depression 2 months later. The doctor was adamant about not restarting both drugs in combination again. He tried Prozac first because it had just been approved. He then tried Parnate monotherapy for which I was only partially responsive. Being a "good patient", I did not question his decision to avoid the treatment that had been the only one ever to work well. By the time another doctor retried the Parnate + desipramine combination, I was no longer responsive to it. So, here I am.
