> does tianeptine have any of the SSRI-type side effects, like anhedonia, apathy, and sexual problems in your experience? and what dose do you take, how ong did it take to see a difference?

Tianeptine has been the med with the less side-effects and I took about 25 meds in the last 10 years. Sexual side effect ? ZERO. anhedonia and apathy neither. .. the only thing I felt the first 2 weeks was a strange kind of background anxiety that came and go... then at about the end of week 2 it was over. I really like Tianeptine and I think it's a shame we (in America) don't have this unique AD.

It seems the high majority of the people is following the 12.5mg x 3 per day .. but some go for 12.5mg x 4 per day. Oh.. and there's that woman who took for one year about 3000mg (!!!.. I repeat THREE THOUSAND MGs) per day because she had some addiction problems and was trying to have a buzz out of Tianeptine! .. I guess it's fair to presume that she wasn't feeling 'ahedonia' and 'apathy' on that dosage :P


BTW, I'm VERY sensitive to side effects and that's why I almost tried them all. (minus TCAs which obviously aren't for the side-effect-sensible people like me.. that said I tried the MAOIs but that's another story) ...
