Hi folks,
I'm considering trying Tianeptine. At this point, given what has failed, it's either that, or Nardil, or trying Pristiq (efx definitely works for me, but the side effects are not ideal and i'm pretty much over all S/NRIs since they all work well at first but then poop out).I'm in a bit of a crisis right now and getting mood back up ASAP is a big goal. No job, many personal losses over the past few months, and each day that goes by that i'm not well is another near waste of my talent and of my life!
So while i'm interested in trying tianeptine, if it will take too long to determine whether it's effective or not, i may just go the Nardil or Pristiq route. I know nardil takes at least a month to kick in, and efx has always worked fast so assume pristiq will work at least as fast, but then i'm stuck with an SNRI again.
Question for tianeptine users: how long did it take before tianeptine kicked in? When it did kick in, was your response obvious and effective, especially if you were deeply depressed before you started (sucidal ideation, laying in bed all day).
Thanks
