> 2- General Anxiety
> 3- Leading to depression after a while.
> 4- Bipolar Type (4/5?) tendencies. The type where you only have some trait until a drug put you into hypomania. No drug = no nothing except trait.

> First impression: Wow. Did you ever saw a man install his huge air conditioner at midnight in less than 10 minutes ? Maybe. But maybe not if that same man wasn't motivated/energic enough to push a frozen meal in his microwave oven since a couple weeks. The stimulating effect is there, no doubt ! .. and without any anxiety, which is surprising in my case.

> Immediate Effect on mood = Was feeling good. And when I say good I mean NORMAL GOOD. Which is what I'm looking for in an AD: Not feeling bad. Feeling good is something I want & need to fight for like every other NORMAL human being. If I want to feel extastic I'll go do some LSD or MDMA and leave the Prozac to the uneducated. ;) While it's a good news it's not that important since the REAL effect on mood isn't started yet and should take ~2 weeks to kick in sync with the neurogenesis. That's the effect that really count in the long run because it will replace the short-term stimulating effect because, in part, of some D2/D3 downregulation magic going on.

> Other: A Nootropic ? .. maybe not for a normal person, but for a long-time depressive/anxious dude like me it is. Better memory, increased focus, smoother (and so much more efficient!)tought process etc. For a couple week I expect Tianeptine to work for me where the ADHD drugs failed due mainly by some sensorial overload which was rendering me austistic-like.
