> > I just tried Tianeptine a couple months ago. I was kind of excited about it at first because of my negative reaction to SSRI's. I actually just threw it away earlier this week. It may be mildly helpful but I didn't notice a whole lot(Note: I only took it for about a week and a half). By accelerating the uptake of serotonin it makes dopamine & norepinephrine more available. So actually, you could try something that raises dopamine/norepinephrine levels. From my experience breathing is smoother on Deprenyl(Mao-B Inhibitor). By selectively inhibiting only Mao-B it doesn't raise serotonin levels. Deprenyl can also be helpful for a lot of other things. >>

I honestly didn't really notice anything much on Tianeptine... it might have lowered my stress levels a little bit. But, I was also taking amino acids & vitamins too. I probably should have gave it a longer trial though. I've tried many AD's with not a whole lot of luck. How's strattera? I thought about checking it out.
