you can read about Neurontin (generic name is gabapentin) at
http://www.rxlist.com/cgi/generic/gabapent.htmanother site for drug info "monographs" is mentalhealth.com but someone here (sorry not to give credit but I forget) mentioned what might be the best ever, http://cp.gsm.com/
Surely there must be something better. Past doctors have prescribed me ativan or clonazepam (Klonopin) for moderate durations when I've had anxiety side effects from an antidepressant.
I guess you need non-prescription because you aren't going through a doctor for the tianeptine, so I can see how anti-anxiety meds may be hard to get. Kava and valerian are herbal anti-anxiety substances but careful about interactions tianeptine might have with them because standard tianeptine "drug-interaction warnings" might consider only other Rx drugs and not OTC herbal ones. Try http://cp.gsm.com/ to check that or do a global search engine search for ( "German Comission E" AND (kava OR valerian) )
peace and health,
