In reply to Fed Up With SSRIs: Can Tianeptine Help?, posted by Roger on June 8, 2003, at 3:18:30

> Am quite new to this support group. Have been on various SSRIs for a long time. Lustral(Zoloft in USA) Seroxat (Paxil) and now Prozac. They do nothing to dissipate my depression and dysphoria. But I am really afraid of coming off prozac because of withdrawal symptoms. Actually prozac was prescribed to come off seroxat. So I am going on vaccation and my destination is India, where the novel Antidepressant tianeptine is sold. Can I try it without coming off prozac ? If I find it working then I hope I can gradually come off prozac. Is there any interaction between prozac and tianeptine ? Please advise.i don't know about any interaction or how exactly this combo would be. But it seems like it'd be kind of a pointless combination-- seems like they'd more or less just neutralize their effects (i wonder if starting tianeptine while having been on an SSRI for awhile could even induce some SSRI withdrawal-like effects). It seems like it'd be kind of like taking an agonist w/ a same receptor antagonist-- not much point.
i may be wrong though. Good luck.
