The last two times I restarted Stablon after a drug holiday I noticed that there were adrenaline-like stimulatory effects in the beginning, but that wore off within two weeks. Maybe it's dopamine because it is supposed to decrease the secretion of stress hormones.
In the long-term I felt relaxed and much less depressed. I wouldn't say it made me more motivated with extended use. Motivation, for me, seems to be a temporary effect that lasts maybe a week.
It's hard to say for sure though too because I'm also on a moderate to high dose of alprazolam. Benzodiazepines can definitely reduce ambition/motivation and induce apathy.
alprazolam 1mg QID, tianeptine 6.25mg QID
black tea: 1 cup/day
GNC Ultra Mega Gold vitamin supplement, BIDDx: panic disorder, major depression, probable PTSD
