Hi ,
thanyou for the information, I wish I had an endocrinologist like yours, mine lost interest as soon as he found I did not have straight cushings.
My email address is g.macauley@ntlworld.com just in case I got it wrong last time and you want to send something.
I have some tianeptine but I was put off by the lack of effect everyone who posted seems to have experienced, im pleased it seems to be good for you.

Hi! I. too, was very puzzled that not one person on the board had a good, or even any, response to tianeptine. The studies from France indicate that it is on a par with fluoxetine- about a 70% response rate. I started taking it mainly to try to protect my hippocampus, which I was sure was rapidly aging and shrinking from all the excess cortisol! I have been amazed that it has been so effective as an anti-depressant. Of course, I've taken it for just for a few weeks, so it's too early to tell how effective it will be in the long run. In several months, I'll know a lot more about that. An encouraging thing- in France they were noting continuing further improvements in mood even after a year of treatment. As far as I can tell, no-one has tested either hippocampal size or cortisol levels in human beings taking this drug, but I'm going to make sure that they test me!
