Tianeptine + Sam-E, a good idea?

Posted by rod on April 12, 2003, at 9:22:35

I didnt find anything regarding this combination, so I am asking for advice.
I have severe endogenous unipolar depression and failed to respond to various meds.
I recently have started tianeptine and it seems to have a stabilising effect to me. I wonder if Sam-E would be a good augmentation to bring back some life to me.

Anyone concerned about this combination?

regards
Roland

I wouldn't even want to guess. I'd advise working closely with a doctor.

I do not self-medicate with tianeptine. It is available in my country and I am taking it under the supervision of my doctor. But I dont think my doctor has any idea about Sam-E since it is not recognised by school medicine so far (at least in my country).

But thanks for your honest reply anyway.
