Technically, yes. But I think it's relatively unlikely that that is going to happen.
Theoretically, if the new med is releasing tianeptine much slower or faster than the old one, there could be a transitional period of feeling worse, but I don't think that will happen. If the half-life of tianeptine is indeed just a few hours as it's indicated on Wikipedia, that would mean that you have already reached a pharmacokinetic steady state with Tianeurax (i.e., the blood levels are no longer fluctuating from one day to the next).
In my experience, if it takes an antidepressant one or several weeks to kick in, this does not keep me from feeling significantly worse even just hours after I miss a dose. If you're fine six days after, I think it's unlikely that you're going to have any problems ahead.
