Re: Still Dealing With Serotonin?

[Guest guest]

I think this is a very important question to answer. I'm thinking

of adding tianpetine in the near future after I've given dostinex a

fair trial.

I think you may be on to something, because when I tried tianeptine I

had a few days where I was getting aroused by visual stimuli strongly

almost like I used to. I had to stop it because I started getting

some kind of phantom pain, which worried me at the time.
