Hello again,
Thank you for getting back to me. I think that it might very well be the case that others with treatment-resistant depression and anxiety might respond favorably to the high-dose combination of medications that you've been taking. And I think that it makes sense that you've posted a message here indicating that you seem to be responding well to the high-dose combo that you're taking. I don't think that it's uncommon to come across reports in the medical literature of patient responses to medications or medication combinations that aren't typically tried for a given medical condition, and even though a case report on your response to the medications that you're taking probably won't appear in a medical journal, I think it's helpful to have anecdotes on this site from patients such as yourself who've been responsive to drug combos that might be considered to be unconventional.
I think it would be interesting to see if others with treatment-resistant depression and anxiety might respond well to the combination of medications that you're taking. I tend to think that doctors might generally be at least hesitant to prescribe tianeptine in the dose that you're taking because I don't think that such high doses of the medication have been studied (although I could be wrong), but I do think that the combo that you're taking has the potential to be helpful for others with treatment-resistant depression and/or anxiety.
