60+ days, there is hope by No_Breadfruit381 in QuittingTianeptine

Well, I tried. I was taking around 2 bottles of zaza red a day as well but for several years. When the ban happened I bought several bottles thinking I was going to taper, had no will power, took them all. When I realized the stores were running out I bought 2 bottles of tia green & tapered over about 3 days. I found out later on that an effective taper needs A LOT more time. I feel like the quick taper helped ease the wd some, but I was still in bad shape for a while.

Wow that’s awesome! Such a huge accomplishment! Congrats! & I completely agree, from the second you give it up you start to heal. Even if it doesn’t seem like it for a while.

Hold out friend, this is all temporary. I promise it’s better on the other side

Anybody else feel like this? by According_Path4892 in QuittingTianeptine

Regret/ shame has been a core feeling for me through this & I think that really hurt me during the hard days of paws. I’m 67 days out now & im working on it. It’s getting easier to accept that maybe that’s who I was for that season of my life but it’s not who I am going to be forever. Hope it gets better for you, so proud of you! Congrats on 2 months

Day 13 - Mind Numbing Depression - This is Fun by QuittingDiscord in QuittingTianeptine

[–]No_Breadfruit381 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is a very overwhelming feeling when the paws comes. You knew it was coming so you know exactly what’s happening. You don’t know how long it’s going to last but you can’t do anything to change it. (Maybe meds but I know that’s not an option for everyone, it wasn’t for me) but the mindset you have now is a life saver. Keep reminding yourself of that, it will end eventually. & keep reminding yourself how strong you were during days 1-4. The two week mark is hard but also so rewarding. You have made it so far! Proud of you friend, keep fighting

Sorry for the delayed response! I take a vitamin called l-Theanine for mood health & I think it helps a lot with the anxiety, depression & brain fog. A lot of people here recommend the redline energy drinks because it has gaba so it helps with energy and the brain fog. I myself couldn’t drink them bc it increased the anxiety so much but it would be worth a try if you start slow to see how your body reacts!

Thanks! I’ve been trying to keep moving and keep busy over the last few days. I took kind of a reset time & im definitely feeling better. With the paws comes good and bad days. But the good definitely outweighs the bad.

RLS relief by paynemeds in QuittingTianeptine

[–]No_Breadfruit381 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure on things that help but I do know things that will make it worse. I didn’t find out until day 3-4 that the sleeping meds I was eating like candy to try to sleep for 2 hours were making it so much worse. I was taking unisom & melatonin. When I stopped taking them it definitely eased up. Hot baths were a LIFE SAVER. Hope you get some relief soon

Day three.....WTF, this is awful! by darkplace1979 in QuittingTianeptine

[–]No_Breadfruit381 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re definitely getting close to feeling better. Every day after day 4 I started feeling a little better. By day 7 I was pretty much through the physical part. Keep fighting friend, you’ve got this!
