Hi. I posted another message today as a follow up to your previous thread on Ketoconazole and Tianeptine, but I did something wrong and your name didn't appear on the subject line. Sorry for the error. I just wanted to hear more about your experiences, both good and bad, with those two medicines.

Tianeptine was of no help for me. Ketoconazole was working for me, then stopped after 6 weeks or so. I wish I had a more positive response to your inquiry. Good luck with your battle.

**************************************************Thanks for your prompt reply! If you have time to tell me any other tidbits of information about your experience with Tianeptine, I'd be very interested to hear them. Also, I'm wondering how long you tried Tianeptine and at what dosage? Did you give it the usual antidepressant trial of 4-8 weeks at the full "therapeutic" dosage? I would like to give it a good trial because, unlike most other antidepressants I've tried over the years, Tianeptine's side effects seem fairly benign, and that's significant!

I tried tianeptine for only 2 or 3 weeks and I don't remember the dose. It was 2 years ago and I did'nt get any response. Through the years with the many things ive tried only two things worked, Parnate was one and Librium was the other and they both were totally effective the first day but they both quit helping after 3 months.I allmost forgot my experience with Ketoconazole, it helped for 6 weeks or so. Every year I try Parnate in the spring and again its been effective for 3 months. The rest of the year I try other treatments. Trying Requip and Mirapex at present.
