Tom,Have you ever had your a.m. serum cortisol tested? Mine is low, and I have to supplement it to even function. Tianeptine lowers cortisol and therefore completely wiped me out, like back before I began to supplement. Don't know if your response is related to that, just wanted to note it totally wiped me out for days for that reason. Might also explain your underlying fatigue. Might Google adrenal fatigue...
Good luck,
Suzie
