I know it's only available in UK/Europe, but has anyone tried Stablon (Tianeptine) with success?
I read that is was good for anxiety/depression. It apparently is unique in that it's a Serotonin reuptake ACCELERATOR and works on 5HT1A only. Therefore, it works on the "calming" receptor, and does not involve 5HT2A/B, the sexual dysfunction related receptors.
I was hoping that it might be an appropriate med for GAD (with some depression).
Anyone know which CytP450 enzyme(s) are needed to metabolize this drug? Or is it metabolised in a way other than hepatically? Therapeutic dosage range??
Thanks
Jas
