Hi sara,I'm not Dav, but I do have some experience with Tianeptine.
I have taken it for 2 weeks and I had to quit.I took the normal dose trice a day.
I became more depressed,tired, irritated, my feelings got magnified (when I felt sad or angry, I was extreme sad or angry)... I didn't feel myself anymore. On top of that, my anxiety has never been as bad as then.Before Tianeptine I could survive with just 1mg of Lorazepam a day. With Tianeptine it didn't even had any effect, it was like taking candy but as with the rest of my emotions, my anxiety got extreme as well.
I quit 3 days ago and I feel much better again.
I don't know if this is any help for you, but Tianeptine -although a perfect alternative for many people, didn't do it for me...X-tof
