Trotter,
Welcome to Psycho-Babble. Thank you for sharing your medication experiences with us.
I currently take 37.5 mg of tianeptine for depression associated with schizoaffective disorder. I've been taking the tianeptine with Abilify for more than two months, and as a whole, I'd say that I've noticed a mild reduction in my depressive symptoms since I started taking it. I don't feel like I'm in full remission, and the tianeptine doesn't address all of my symptoms (for example, it doesn't help with hypersomnia). I have, however, noticed that it boosts my mood some and also my energy levels to a lesser extent. Most importantly, it's relatively consistent in its effects and hasn't induced any kind of mood cycling. So, I'd say that I'm getting a partial-but-consistent antidepressant response from it, which is more than I can say that I get from most antidepressants. I've found it to be a pretty good medication.
