Hello all,
I've seen a ton of posts by people using Tianeptine (Stablon) and am having some trouble with it. I started just a few weeks ago with the typical dosage of 12.5mg 3 times a day.
I had great hopes for the stuff, and after about one week I felt like my depression was lifting. In a few more days it was gone almost completely, my ability to concentrate and sex drive were back for the first time in years! About four days after that, I crashed and the depression returned big time.
This has been really demoralizing and I'm not sure what to do. I've been on every drug out there, and none seem to work. Zoloft, Paxil, Nortryptaline, Neurontin, Strattera, Effexor, Lamictal, Zyprexa, Deprenyl, Cytomel (T3), Requip, and some others--I can't remember them all. Nothing works.
I have never experienced a lift like this from any of those other drugs, and what can I say--I desperately want it back!! I have read some posts where Tianeptine has stopped working for people. Has anyone out there used it over the long run and had this happen, only to have the drug kick in again later and work more consistently?
Is there any supplement that seems to help boost the effect (5-HTP, Phenylaline, SAM-e, etc.)?
Help!
Thanks for reading and for any feedback you can provide.
