> I thought I should know a bare minimum about the neuroprotection! According to an article in Nature by McEwen, tianeptine works by normalizing the functions of the glutamate system. I think excess glutamate occurs as a consequence of an overactive HPA axis and elevated levels of cortisol. I believe lithium is thought to work on glutamate also.
Have you thought to try Lamictal (lamotrigine)? It is anti-glutamatergic via inhibition of glutamate release.
