>Intersting... could you describe how it was like ?
I felt cold and shivery. I don't know if that had anything to do with some sort of serotonin problem, but I felt pretty much like that on Lexapro (amd other SSRIs) alone.
>What was the difference between your response (or non response) on Lexapro+Tianeptine and the other SSRI trial you did in the past ?
I only took it for one day. I felt so awful I just dropped the Lexapro and went back to tianeptine.
>Also did you feel Tianeptine somehow was reducing the usual SSRI side effects ?
Not really, I still had all the classic SSRI side effects. I don't think it would be that effective because it's not a serotonin blocker like cyproheptadine or something like that.
>last question: What's your diagnostic/symptoms ?
Bipolar I with psychotic features, social anxiety and agoraphobia.
>I know I ask you alot of question and maybe you don't have the time or the motivation to answer me those, but not many people can answer those and if I add an SSRI to Tianeptine it will be Lexapro as I already have some. So your answers has value for me.
No problem! There are some posts in the archives of what I reported at the time if that would be useful to you.
