Tianeptine

Tianeptine is a unique medication used primarily for the treatment of depressive symptoms. It is a synthetic molecule that acts as a selective uptake inhibitor for the neurotransmitter serotonin. This means that it increases the levels of serotonin in the brain, which can help improve mood and alleviate depressive symptoms.
Tianeptine is a combination medication, consisting of two main components: tianeptine sodium and sodium carbonate. These two components work together to enhance the effects of tianeptine in the body, making it more effective at treating depression.
In addition to its antidepressant properties, tianeptine also has analgesic (pain-relieving) effects, making it useful for treating chronic pain conditions as well. It is often prescribed for patients who suffer from both depression and chronic pain, as it can address both issues simultaneously.
Tianeptine is not a typical antidepressant, and it should not be used as a substitute for other antidepressant medications. It is specifically designed to treat the unique symptoms of depression and chronic pain, and it should be used under the guidance of a healthcare professional.
