In reply to Fed Up With SSRIs: Can Tianeptine Help?, posted by Roger on June 8, 2003, at 3:18:30
From my understanding, tianeptine can be taken in combination with an SSRI. Tianeptine is a drug that I have considered taking. Of course it is probably best to mix meds under medical supervision.
Some sniplets (is that a word?) from http://biopsychiatry.com
In some cases, SSRIs may even act as thymoanaesthetisers which diminish the intensity of felt emotion; by contrast, a mood-brightening serotonin reuptake-enhancer like tianeptine may intensify emotion instead.
Reboxetine may be safely combined with an SSRI. More surprisingly, preliminary studies suggest reboxetine can actually reverse tranylcypromine-induced hypertensive crises. The "cheese effect" is triggered by ingesting tyramine-rich foods. Thus NARIs plus MAOIs may prove a potent form of combination-therapy.
