Tianeptine suicidal side effect?
Original post in this thread

Hello,
I started using tianeptine 3 days ago due to my severe major depression. I've tried SSRI, CBT etc. but just can't get over this extreme depression. So after reading positive stories about Tianeptine here I figured I'd give it a go. I thought I had done my research, but today I've come across several reports and warnings of suicidal thoughts on tianeptine?
I do not have these yet, at least not worse than I already had with my depression, but this is getting me worried. I'm only 3 days in, could this suddenly appear?

I hesitate to mention the suicidal thoughts I got on tianeptine because I used it for such a brief amount of time. I didn't experience suicidal rumination but I did have some feelings of deep despair and felt very sombre. Maybe I have some odd sensitivity to it? It also produced very unwelcome physical sensations too (back pain, anxiety in chest area accompanied by precordial pain, light headache) so I have to assume it just doesn't work well for me but I seem to be the anomaly. I predominately hear success stories about Tia usage. I was taking it in complete isolation from other substances, as well.

I'd say 15-20% of the people that use it either do not like it, or get bad effects. That is just based on the customers of ours that I speak to, not a scientific poll.
