Well clomipramine is an SNRI, so decreasing the dose will, temporarily leave you depleted of 5HT/NE. Tianeptine is a serotonin reuptake enhancers and works by removing serotonin from the synapse. So it depletes extracellular serotonin. So it could prolong the effects of the withdrawal. But I think GGG unit already started taking it anyway.
