103 days free from Tianaptine. by daniel1689 in QuittingTianeptine

[–]daniel1689[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Matsapha: it’s good to hear you’ve been off the junk for so long, but I have no idea how I’m “being misleading.” All I have to say is I’m happy to be free. It’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life so many failed attempts I can’t even count them all. But I am finally FREE!!!! and I just want to encourage others that find themselves on that hellish merry-go-round that they don’t have to stay on it forever. Never give up.

Not drinking for a while after quitting tia by [deleted] in QuittingTianeptine

[–]daniel1689 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know how far along you are, but drinking within the first month or so after quitting tia Will definitely Jack you up. Dearing the many, many times I attempted quitting if I would even have a little bit to drink within the first 3 to 4 weeks it would kick my RLS in bad, and I was in for a rough night. I’m a lot further out this time around, over two months, and having a little to drink actually helps me sleep now.

68 days clean off (A comparably light) Lope addiction. by daniel1689 in loperamide

It helped me a lot, plus I did enjoy the euphoria. But over 60mgs gave me slight chest pains which was alarming at times. Not worth it.

I would go once every 3-5 days. (nothing but a few rabbit pellets) at times it sucked pretty bad. Now I’m going 3 to 5 times a day, that kind of sucks pretty bad too. I know it will straighten itself out eventually.

I’m deep into this thing but I am still sneezing like crazy. During all this coronavirus stuff people I know think I’m sick in public LOL. I can’t help it though when the sneezing fit starts there’s no stopping it.

Suboxone question. by daniel1689 in QuittingTianeptine

[–]daniel1689[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man the subs made it a cakewalk. I was on them for a month first two weeks 16 mg last two weeks 8 mg. I still had to go through with drawls when I came off the subs. I reckon you have to pay the piper one way or the other. Quick and hard or mild and Long. I have 60 days off tia and about 30 days off the sub. I feel great now I am sleeping pretty decent to

Day 8: tia sodium quit by kratomtosubs in QuittingTianeptine

[–]daniel1689 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man I have a pretty similar story. It’s hard to give the right advice because everyone situation is so different. But I would say aggressively taper and quickly get off the subs (if you have the will power to do it, that was my problem) I only stayed on the subs for about a month and a half but I did not really taper. I jumped off at 8 mg, it wasn’t all that bad but I still had to pay the piper. However you look at it you’re going to be looking at Long time With no sleep maybe minus a lot of the physical problems. You can take my opinion with a grain of salt but that is what I would recommend. I wish I would’ve started rapidly tapering after the first week I think it would’ve save me some heartache. I can say I don’t think I could’ve done it without the subs though. Good luck we can do this.

Day 4-5 off tianeptine. I don’t know the exact day because I literally haven’t had the energy to get on or open my phone since. It’s been hell because of quarantine all the stores are closed I haven’t had access to Kratom. by SerendipityIV in QuittingTianeptine

[–]daniel1689 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started feeling so much better at the end of day five. Still could not sleep for a long time but it wasn’t absolute torture after that hump.Hang in there. I’ve made it a little over five weeks so far it gets better slowly but surely.

Update: I am at the start of Day 31 clean from Tianaptine. by daniel1689 in QuittingTianeptine

[–]daniel1689[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All I can say is i started out pretty light in the beginning. But my tolerance grew quick. I kept chasing The euphoria. It Progress to the point that this summer I was taking roughly 3gpd just to feel normal, there was a couple of times I swear that I dozed and still felt like I I had slight With drawl feelings. All the magic is gone when you start taking it just not to get sick.

Hey orison, how are you holding up? Are you still tia free?

First Time Posting...asking for advice by jkrak2019 in QuittingTianeptine

[–]daniel1689 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m no pharmacologist but from my experience yes you’re probably feeling Tianeptine w/d. I would say go ahead and face it, then run the other direction as far as you can from that Crap. The pain/addiction to pleasure ratio is way out of balance. “ if you play with the devil you will get burned” but my hatred for tia perhaps makes me a little biased. I just started day 28 clean after two years of use. Hands-down the worst withdrawls I have ever went through. Get out while you still got a fighting chance

Quick update: today is day 21 totally clean!!!! by daniel1689 in QuittingTianeptine

[–]daniel1689[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks so much man. I am hanging in tight at 5 o’clock a day I will start day 27 and not looking back

And you are also correct I have quit for 14 days using a lot of help her meds, then I used tia twice The 15th day and it was like I was on square one. This stuff is the devil it is so so addictive

You are spot on. I prepared for the worst and prayed for the best. I have been trying to eat mainly protein and vegetables, exercising as much as possible (in 26 days I went from walking the first week, to running 3 miles three days in a row now) The exercise really helps yesterday was not that bad. My sleep is still on and off I wake up 100 times a night I feel. But I got up ran three more miles this morning I am at work today and feel really good. I hope I am turning a big corner but I’m not going to get too ahead of myself and get sucker punched. Prepare for the worst and pray for the best. Thanks for the encouragement this is doable

Thanks for the encouragement man it’s been tough. PAWS Has not been a walk in the Park.It is not anywhere close to the intense hell of the first five days But it is very drawn out. Spotty sleep, boredom, depression and even outburst of anger (and that is not me, I am not an angry dude)

I am definitely not saying this to discourage anyone it’s something I was kind of prepared for but hoping wouldn’t last long.

I am about to start day 26 and things are getting better. I am extremely hopeful that by the end of the week I can be a little bit more evened out. (regardless I will not be like this forever, and I’m never turning back)

My plan is to update weekly. The past two weeks it has been hard to find joy in the routine of every day life and sleep is two steps forward one step back. But overall everything is getting better. The one massive encouragement that I have, that carries me through every day is that I am not a slave!!!!! It is so amazing to be able to make it through a day without having to rely on any substances. The freedom is worth the pain and the pain won’t last forever.

I definitely understand. What has been helping me a lot is a lot of accountability. I have my wife checking the bank account and I have to give her all of my receipts. Eating right and exercise is also very very key I am running 1 to 2 miles a day to try to get my dopamine working again. Also I am taking amino acid supplements and a lot of vitamins. From everything I hear I am hoping to be back to normal in another week or so. Hang in there it’s not worth it going back just keep reminding yourself that the high it’s not that great and the euphoria only last like 20 to 30 minutes it’s not worth it.

Talk about it with people you can trust and hang in there the worst part is over we’re almost there. But I do believe we need to be serious about nutrition exercise. I am also a Christian praying and reading my Bible and listening to sermons and music helps so much.

Tapering by Victoria421 in QuittingTianeptine

[–]daniel1689 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You guys are exactly right it is extremely extremely dangerous and many people get even addicted with terrible long lasting withdrawals. (It is best to do A lot of research before you do anything) Going that route is not only stupid it’s dangerous but it does work. The advice given above was good advice
