I've found a number of research articles on the Internet on Tianeptine, but I have been unable to find some very basic "PDR-type" information on this drug that is only available overseas. I need answers to the following questions:
1) What is the half life of Tianeptine/Stablon?
2) What is the time to peak for Tianeptine (i.e., the time it takes from the time you swallow the drug to the time it reaches peak blood levels)?
3) Should Tianeptine be taken with or without food?
4) Which hepatic/liver enzymes does Tianeptine inhibit, if any? Which does it induce? Which enzymes is it a substrate of?
4)What is the recommended or usual daily dosage? What is the maximum daily dosage that is safe?
5)Should Tianeptine be taken during the day or at night?
My physician recently prescribed Stablon, but the medicine is as new to him as it is to me, so I do need answers to the above questions. Thank you for any help you can provide.
