Hi dav,
it's been about 40 days on Tianeptine, and about two weeks ago I rose to 3x 12,5mg a day.
It's about one week I'm feeling much more alert. The fatigue and excessive sleepiness are gone. My mind is much clearer, great for work.
Anyway I've been experiencing some anxiety and higher emotional sensitivity. This is the bad part of the story. Also, kinda down anyway, plus no humor sense.
No big side effects, except for some mild constipation (I'm trying prunes and a better nutrition to correct that).
My next step is to try to augment it with something that could take care of the anxiety and improve mood.
Hope you're well,
Ralph
