> I should say that I don't believe psyciatrists because of some unsuccessful therapy experiments. My life has gotten worse time to time. I lost a lot of things because of this sucking depression. I am very near to get sack from the college(I was very successful student before depression).I can't do anything and I have no motivation. Maybe this drug is my last chance. Has anyone experienced it? Can I manage to get rid of this sucking disease?

I've used Tianeptine before, used it for around 6 months. It's another one of those French drugs that "work" without anyone knowing exactly it's precise mode of action. I think I gave it a fair trial and could note the following.
Advantages: Mildly serenic, Mildly mood stabilizing/ food tasted better/Increased libido/ Lessening of typical major depressive symptoms/Easy to stop using( taper down over 3-4 days only.
Disadvantages: Freaky nightmares/ Headache/ occasional distressing vivid thoughts/ Apathy setting in over time. Side effects lessen in intensity after a few weeks of continued use.
Dosages 2or 3 tabs of 12.5mg per day.
Can be combined with Modiodal ( Provigil), to combat the apathy side effect.

This drug also takes the edge of mild benzodiazepine withdrawal and is used also for treating alcoholics.

All in all not a bad med. Take heart, hang in there, your depression will clear over time.
