I'm still curious as to why such a novel antidepressant without the typical side effects of SSRIs was never marketed in the US.
The article I linked to (http://www.tianeptine.com/) that there are still patentable (and therefore profitible) analogs of this drug (Think Celexa/Lexapro) but no one has taken advantage of this.
Personally, I would love to try this medication. It has strong anxiolytic effects, probably better than SSRIS, as well as having no sexual side effects (YEAH!)
So what gives? Why isn't this available?
