Hi Mike. :)

Well, I began taking tianeptine for anxiety and depression, but I also have asthma and I believe it has reduced the frequency of my attacks. That said, if I am exposed to a potent allergen, I'll still have asthmatic symptoms.

You can try taking 1/2 tablet twice a day, with the last dose no later than the afternoon. You can gradually increase the dose to the recommended 3 times a day regimen or as per your doctor's orders.

Please keep us updated on your progress and post here again in a week or so. I'd like to see how your asthma is doing then. Hopefully it will improve even more.

I'm still taking four tablets a day and have found that in the long term it has no negative effects on my sleep. I can take it at bedtime and have no problems. Rarely it can make me feel slightly drowsy, although I wouldn't say it is sedating. I'll take one and then feel like taking a nap. I then wake up feeling refreshed.

If I increase the dosage, then certainly I'll wake up in the middle of the night unable to return to sleep. That's just a temporary side effect that should resolve in a week or two as your body adjusts.

Good luck.

Paul
