Positive experiences
“It has really improved the quality of my life, more than anything else I have taken.”
“I take 15mg 3x daily, and it keeps me out of depression and in a good mood. It also helps me focus in class more.”
“Tianeptine works as a powerful anti-depressant for me and many others at small dosages (~12.5mg).”
“I've been taking it for a week now and I feel considerably better.”
“Tianeptine works well for pms-type rages. A couple hours after a dose, I'm back to normal and pretty happy.”
“there's always tianeptine, which I find is only debated on its efficacy in the laboratory; in practice it is a very reliable drug that helps with high serotonin problems.”
Negative and mixed experiences
“tianeptine for example. It has done wonders for my anxiety like no other compound. Now I have to choose between remission of anxiety or buying from some rando lab in China because people ODed on it.”
“Back in uni (~2015) I self-prescribed tianeptine for depression, and it totally fixed me. Now tianeptine is getting popular as 'Gas Station Heroin' / 'Zaza', and everyone's talking about how dangerous it is.”
“Most of us have taken Tianeptine. Some of us rely on it to function... Personally I notice very little difference between these two substances except for the duration of effect.”
“my least favorite 'noot' of 2015 was tianeptine. That stuff just feels really dirty and unhealthy to me. Even though I was dosing low, I felt very off for a few days after using it.”
“it made my head foggy and made me more anxious. Noticed no improvement in mood.”
