I very much doubt the lasting answer lies in two drugs, that would spoil all the fun now wouldn't it?
Why is tianeptine counterintuitive? I've never really believed SSRIs correct a deficiency in serotonin, more that by ramping up serotonin you get changes in perception that may be helpful to some people who are depressed and anxious. Enhancing serotonin reuptake may also makes changes that can be helpful to people who are depressed and anxious. It's a shame such prejudice is so widespread among doctors, but I guess you've come across a lot of that with doctors who think MAOIs don't work? I'm not under the 'care' of a doctor any more BTW.
