Hi Quintal, thanks for your update.
> The biggest problem I've had is that it sometimes causes 'spaciness' and lack of focus. I presume this has something to do with its anti-NE effect. I also take Lamictal and I think that contributes to the poor focus. I have tried adding noradrenergic meds to it with some success, but they come with their own problems.
I am experiencing this 'spaciness and lack of focus' at the moment, but I am hoping this is transient. Much too early to tell (day 6).

> The thing I like most about tianeptine is that I still feel the full spectrum of emotions, and of course that my sexual parts are still functioning. It is a good med and I recommend it to everyone who has had no luck with SSRIs etc.I am not looking for a miracle with Tianeptine. I will be happy if I can get a significant improvement in symptoms with negligible side effects. If I can get the same response I had with Fluoxetine, but without the crap, I'll be very happy - figuratively speaking :)
It doesn't work for everyone, and sometimes people try to ruin it for people who have, but I'd recommed you give it a good long trial - provided nothing untoward crops up of course. I too am very excited about agomelatine and it is high on the list of meds I want to try next, as much out of curiosity as anything else. I hope tianeptine works well for you.
>Thanks. I have a good feeling about this one.
