Do you have some time to help me on Tianeptine? I am very prone to side effects, very sensitive to meds, and often have paradoxical reverse reactions to them. As a result, my drug trials are usually short-lived. If I can make it past day 4 on anything, that is a major accomplishment. Usually by that time I am ready to drive myself to the hospital I am so much worse than I started in some way or another.
Don't want that to happen with Tianeptine, since it is off to an ok start. That itself is unusual for me. So any help you can share is greatly appreciated.
You suggested going for the full dose right away? Yeah? That sounds scary. Tell me more about that. More anxiety at low doses, smoother at higher doses?
Insomnia or poor sleep issues? Did they go away on their own?
What times of day do you take your doses? What size doses?
After 8-12 hours of no dose (assuming last dose was at dinner and then 8 hours of sleep), is there a withdrawal felt at waking? I have a hard time discerning whether how I feel in the morning is disease-related or med-related.
Massive headache today. Common or not?
Did you get as fast a response as I did? After you did notice a response, did it continue to get better with time?
Anything else you can share on tianeptine besides just my questions is welcome. Thank you very much for your thoughts.
