In reply to Tianeptine + SSRI, posted by uncouth on July 13, 2009, at 17:07:15
> Hi all,

I like tianeptine and it has novel actions on stress, neurogenesis, glutamate regulation, and i'd like to take it with my Luvox, as Luvox has especially good actions for OCD as we know, which I also need help with, but i'm wondering if the two will just cancel each other out.

There is no way to theoretically predict if any particular med will cancel out the supposedly therapeutic effects of another, or that we even have a clue what the therapeutic effects actually are.
There was a single case study on pubmed where a patient did not respond to a traditional antidepessant and did not respond to tianeptine but did get a response to the combination. Unfortunately the abstract did not mention what the traditional AD was that was combined with tianeptine.
