I don't think it's common, but some people apparently get a mild stimulant effect from tianeptine (there are occasional cases of people abusing it for this effect). Maybe that's what you were experiencing?
As for me, I responded within a week or two, though I respond pretty quickly to most ADs. I'm sure most docs would say to give it a few more weeks, but thirty days seems like it might be an adequate trial to me.
