On Day 12 or 13 I experienced a sudden effect from the tianeptine 30 minutes after taking my third dose of the day. It was somewhat indistinguishable from a hypoglycemic attack in the beginning (I have reactive hypoglycemia), in that there was a lot of adrenaline activity. Other that that it was best described as a "speedy" effect with unusual ease in breathing as if my lungs had opened right up, which would be consistent with adrenaline release.
I have no idea if adrenaline played any part in it though. It was definitely a pronounced psychostimulant effect and at one point I thought I was going to have a panic attack, perhaps because I misinterpretted the symptoms as being dangerous when they were only benign.
It was like drinking a few strong cups of coffee..definite bronchodilator effect along with an ability to concentrate much more than usual.
I decided to cut back on it to only 2 tablets today because even this 2nd dose today that I took just an hour ago is giving me a rush..not really euphoric...well, mildly.
Somewhat overstimulating. Maybe I don't need this much tianeptine. That "12.5mg t.i.d from the start!" that the drug company Servier promotes seems like it isn't appropriate for everyone.
No one size fits all I think. I hope I can obtain some anti-panic effect from it in the lower doses.
