Hi,
Sorry it took so long to get back to you, but I don't have consistent internet access.
Anyway, regarding the tianeptine, I was taking between 4 - 6 pills a day (the only reason I've stopped is because my supply ran out, and my new shipment hasn't gotten here yet), and I found that it helped anxiety in a different way than klono. It's not as powerful as klono, yet definitely has an anxiolytic effect, especially when I take the pills two at a time. Also, I'm even more sure of my SP theory, since tianeptine has diminished the spacy feeling that ssri types give me after the first few weeks.
Regarding prosociability, I found that tianeptine mixed with very small doses of klono and picamilon was at times extremely prosocial, though the results were inconsistent at best.
I plan to continue with tianeptine for the forseeable future.
Regarding cck-b antagonists, the only one I know of on the market is Proglumide, and my shipment should be arriving in a week or so. I'm not sure what to expect, since proglumide wasn't designed to specifically battle anxiety, but according to the data that is one of its effects.
I'll keep you all posted. Good luck to all!
