Hard to say about all those side-effects - I haven't had them. My guess would be that, while the explanations you floated (cortisol, reduced norepinephrine) seem plausible to me, I doubt anyone knows enough about tianeptine (or most other antidepressants) to know whether/why it's causing it. I would merely suggest that, like many side-effects, the problems might go away in a few weeks, when your body gets used to the substance. I have heard others complain about tianeptine making them tense, but it never happened to me, so I can't really comment on how that will (or won't) work itself out.
Best of luck, though - I bet you've reasonably good odds of feeling better on these issues at the end of the month!
