Hi AtmLady,
> Marty, I just received my order of stablon in the mail today, and the plan was to try it with strattera, but not immediately.

Sounds like something that could work. When you say 'but not immediately' I wish you also mean that you will not combo the 2 from day 1. I think it would be best to try one first then add the second a couple weeks later. That way if the combo fail you will know how you felt on the first one alone. At that point you can go and try the other one alone after a withdrawal of the first one OR keep taking only the first one. IMO it's a better systematic way of trying those meds. Do you agree ?
> As for you, have you thought about wellbutrin + stablon? I have, and may try it at some point, who knows?

Actually I was on Welbutrin when I started Tianeptine. After having a good effect from Tianeptine, I started to feel like it was pooping out on me... There a couple things that could have done this and stopping Wellbutrin could be the most important factor. I'll wait a couple day before shouting 'Eureka!!' since I just resumed Wellbutrin yesterday BUT.. Only one dose yesterday is enough for me to know there some synergistic stuff going on between Wellbutrin and Tianeptine (at least for me): Wellbutrin feel QUITE different when I'm on Tianeptine .. and this difference.. this feeling.. remembered me when Tianeptine was working great for me. :)> But yeah, I think we are ALL looking for that magic combo that alleviates our mood issues, assists with our own peculiar sleep and weight issues, and all with minimum impact on sexual and cognitive functions. So you can be sure that when and if I do try anything new, I'll be posting my results here. Every little bit of info helps, ya know? Cause unfortunately, finding the right combo seems to be a SWAG (scientific wild-*ss*d guess). But if we keep talking to each other about our experiences, we can make better SWAGs I would think.

I completely agree with you! I learned a great deal just by coming here in the last couple years. Beside learning, socializing with other 'sufferers' is helping a lot too.Thanks for answering AtmLady!
I'm looking forward to follow your experience with Tianeptine. Keep us posted!/\/\arty
