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.

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.
