I'm still having excellent results with Stablon. I'm up to two 12.5 mg tabs. twice daily and am going to increase by adding half a tab in the evening. So far headaches I had initially have improved, but I still have very vivid dreams.
I saw a Gastrointerologist today and gave him a print out on Tianeptine. He was very interested and is going to see if he can learn more from his colleagues.
He is of the opinion that the intestinal contractions and pressure I've been having are from anxiety and depression related to post accute withdrawl syndrome after quitting opiate pain meds. It's hard to believe that 8 mos. after quitting them I'm still having such severe symptoms and that they would be getting worse, but what can I do? I have hit a dead end again. The only other possible cause of all of my symptoms together is so rare and unlikely that the Dr. isn't even considering it as a possibility.
So while I am no more satisfied with my diagnosis, I am very happy to be able to effectively treat the symptoms. Hooray for that!
