Thank you all for your responses. I'll look for Tianeptine (Stablon) if I can find it in the U.S. And thank you, Matt, for your support.
For those who like reading about psychiatric drugs, a very decent and inexpensive (about $12) pocket book reference on psychiatric drugs is put out by CCS publishing at www.ccspublishing.com. It's called "Handbook of Psychiatric Drugs" by Albers, Hahn and Reist @ Univ. of California at Irvine med. school. It was recommended to me by a librarian in a medical school library to which I sneak in once in a while to copy medical articles. He said that many psych. doctors carry it around with them. The last edition is 2005, published in the fall of 2004. It's better than any of the others I've seen, including the one by Stahl. And judging by what I experienced, the book's description of drugs' pluses and minuses are close to reality.
No, I don't go to psych. doctors any more. I saw 2 psych. doctors. Each of them was interested in protecting his own skin. The first put me on Wellbutrin, the second recommended Provigil, which I couldn't afford and judging from my research isn't that great.
So I'm reading that book and trying psych. drugs on myself on my own, thanks to an understanding GP. Again, appreciate your responses.
