>Does the faster reuptake of serotonin mean that more is pumped out into the cleft?
I think that's what's been suggested in the past. It might be more accurate to say tianeptine works by increasing the turnover of the serotonin transporter rather than by reducing serotonin levels per se.
>It obviously is counterintuitive if there is anything in the SSRI story.
It's clear that serotonin system has an effect on mood, but not necessarily that blocking the reuptake pump is the only, or even the best way to go about manipulating the receptors to get an antidepressant response. The SSRE method seems to lack all the side effects of excess serotonin that you get with SSRIs, in fact I have no side effects at all.
>Do you just buy drugs without p/s now?
Yes, though you don't actually need a prescription to import tianeptine and nicergoline into the UK.
