thank you for your input. I think I'm going to give it a try and get away from seeing a psychiatrist at all, if I can. I'm going to ask my primary if she will write my ADD and klonopin scripts and try the taineptine. Even with the expense of $100 a month, if it works it'll be worth it and I'll be saving $ not seeing my pdoc as he's not covered under my insurance.

thanks again
namaste,

People's experiences tend to differ, but I personally think that tianeptine makes me lose a little weight, since it deals with 'vegetative' depressive symptoms. I think it unlikely that this med's properties make it likely it would cause weight-gain--the statistics I've seen (charts of reported side-effects) do not suggest that as being the case with any frequency.
