I didn't say tianeptine was inferior to SSRIs. I'm equally doubtful that SSRIs alone are likely to bring a complete remission in severe depression.
I have a number of years experience with this drug, and to me it always seemed a mild antidepressant. I thought I would need to go back on something like Parnate to lift me out of this depression, so I'm suprised that tianeptine has done it in such a short space of time. Incidentally, the antidepressant response has continued today and feels like it's here to stay. I felt so good I even went for a walk this afternoon in the wind and the rain. Now I'm out of the pit I can work on exercise and improving my social life that will hopefully support me in the longer term.
