> Generally speaking, I see no reason to dispute the existence of these adverse effects. My only caveat is that untreated depressive disorders tend to get worse over time naturally.

Thank you very much for your reply. I agree with that, so maybe it could be made a study comparing treatment-resistant depression in a developing country (where most people can't afford antidepressants) with western countries to see where TRD is most frequent. I think there should have been much more research into the problem of tardive dysphoria and tachyphylaxis.

This happened to me on Nardil. I had intense and repeating suicidal thoughts, and I went to a mountain to look for a place to jump from. I went to the edge of a drop, so I could have fallen in death by accident. I don't understand how I dared it, since I have fear of heights.

I also woke up once every hour in the night because I had to urinate.

>Tachyphylaxis is very dramatic with me. I experience a robust antidepressant effect for about 3 days before relapsing.

I experienced something like that the first time i took tianeptine. Then I probably took 25 - 50 mg, and I think it was monotherapy.
