In reply to Developing side effects to tianeptine (Stablon), posted by sukarno on March 25, 2005, at 5:30:58
I increased the dosage of Stablon to 5 tablets a day for just two days and experienced in the early morning a definite euphoria. However, it was followed by a sensation of everything being in "slow-motion".
I felt as if I was in a state of derealisation, but not panicky... very relaxed and euphoric.
Is this, perhaps, signs of anticholingeric psychosis?
Servier marketed Stablon as being devoid of anticholinergic effects, but Ed showed me that it does indeed have some effects similar to amitriptyline in that it can cause dry mouth, etc.
The only side effects I feel in the higher doses besides the short-lived euphoria is dry mouth and thirst.
Is this a dangerous side effect? I love the mood elevation as it is very nice to be free of depression, but that distortion of perception frightened me and reminded me of marijuana intoxication.
