> Linkadgewell, by now it is almost day 3 i´m on tianeptine. first i thought about taking only 2 tabs a day (=25mg), but reading throught the literature and taking tianeptine´s short elimination-half-life into account, i´ll probably stick to the package insert´s recommandation, i.e.: 3 tabs/day.
as for your question concening anxiety, i first have to cite what, that "anxiety" is among the substance´ listed side effects - ironically the drug is prescribed for anxious depression! in my opinion it is hard to judge, what is part of the disease, or which symptoms are part of the drugs´ effscts.
personally i often suffer from generalized anxiety, the idea, that my life is on the edge (some catastrophic events are about to happen to me...). my personality is probably best described with the following adjectives: anxious, pedantic, obsessive, rigid, depressive, jealous.
so you will have to keep these personality-traits in mind, when i describe tianeptine´s effects:(1) reminds me of stimulants (e.g. ephedrine)
(2) what fits into this picture (stimulant-like): anorectic
(3) what does not fit into this picture: anxiolytic - or at least, it soes not aggrevate my anxiety-related problems.how to obtain tianeptine in canada? the drug is licensed in france under the name STABLON, so i estimate, it is available on xxxxx. if you can´t get there, just xxxxx.
