Believe it or not I have! In my experience, Stablon is a pretty weak antidepressant -- almost along the lines of Buspar if you've ever gone down that road -- somewhat helpful for anxiety, not so much for depression. The manufacturer has studies that suggest that it's comparable to SSRIs, but my understanding is that European psychiatrists opt for other options -- not because of safety issues, but because of efficacy.

Servier developed Stablon when Amineptine got pulled from the world market because of concerns over the potential for abuse -- Stablon is closely related to Amineptine, but it has an affinity for serotonin rather than dopamine -- so there's no potential for abuse, but there's also none of the magic that made Amineptine so popular. Amineptine was one of the legendary anti-depressants of all-time, and arguably one of the most effective -- Stablon was marketed as a drug that would recapture Amineptine's glory, but seems to have fallen short of the mark. I'm sure that there are others who would disagree -- and every so often I notice a flurry of Stablon posts on this site -- so people are certainly taking it, and I'm sure that some people benefit from it. If nothing else, it's very safe -- it certainly won't hurt you -- aside there's no harm in trying, aside from the out of pocket expense.
