I wish there was more info available about how tianeptine works. It supposedly has the exact opposite effect of SSRI`s, decreasing serotonin instead of increasing it, yet has about the same percentage of people who improve on it. Maybe all that means is that all these drugs are nothing but placebos. Certainly no drug except benzos has ever had any beneficial effect on me. I did take clonazepam along with the tianeptine-don`t know if that made any difference. Since for me tianeptine was one of the very rare drugs with no side effects, it`d be nice if there was some info out there on ways to augment it. My pdoc didn`t object to my taking it (ordered from overseas) but of course knew nothing about it or ways to augment it. Truthfully, he gave up on me a long time ago anyway. Cecilia
