Coaxil

Brand Name: Tianeptine, Stablon

What is it?
Coaxil is an antidepressant drug that is related to the chemical amineptine. It is often referred to as a serotonin reuptake accelerator and it works opposite to the action of SSRI’s (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors), making this drug unique.  This drug appears to decrease the extracellular serotonin level and shows no affinity for neurotransmitter receptors.

Coaxil has a very strong antidepressant with clear lack of a sedative feature, which is key for some individuals.  This is a huge benefit to doctors using this drug. It also does not have any cardio effects so is extremely suitable for older patients and for those suffering from alcohol withdrawal who are quite sensitive to the effects of these types of antidepressant drugs.

Coaxil has also in the past couple of years, been used to treat individuals with asthma. Thou an individual using it in this way will need to be monitored for any changes in their condition while on this medication.
