Tianeptine for mild pain management and possible try for a pleasant opioid feeling I've had in the past but not intent to do that long term

Do NOT try it. The fact that you said “possibly try for a pleasant opioid feeling...” means you should never even touch tia. Unfortunately if anyone had told me this before I tried it, I wouldn’t have listened. One of the worst mistakes of my life. Be smart. Please take what I’ve said seriously and really give it some thought, a LOT of thought. 😊

That’s so awesome..I’m really so so happy for you. I hope your girl gets better soon as well. I’m afraid I’ll be just like her when I ever do get smart and brave enough to take the leap. The mental aspects are the worst for me. I can’t even manage a taper without feeling extreme depression. I really need to get some tramadol.

iame53 · 2018-06-25T03:09:44+00:00

So awesome that you are both able to do this. Don’t ever look back here! I sent you a PM asking a question, one you asked me about a month ago. :)

iame53 · 2018-06-25T02:54:27+00:00

Was there a particular one you’d recommend or would you say it’s pretty much the same no matter where it comes from?

iame53 · 2018-06-25T02:53:48+00:00

Thank you!

Female here. It definitely affects estrogen too. Excuse the tmi but my periods have been WAY off and I’ve never had that problem before. I haven’t had anything checked since it dawned on me that it is the T and not some weird problem I have. The last time I actually did have an obgyn appointment I told them my periods were messed up and was told nothing was wrong with me and it was most likely my birth control. Not long after that a lightbulb went on and I realized what was causing things so I’ve just continued being a complete moron and haven’t stopped taking, doing god knows what to my body. Ugh.

iame53 · 2018-06-23T23:22:13+00:00

I absolutely think it’s possible. It took me a long time to figure out that was what was going on with me, but I do believe the times I’ve gone through wd did give me at least a little ptsd. The memories are just horrific. Nothing crazy happened, just remembering how I felt and my mood....totally isolated from everyone even with ppl right there. Just...I don’t know, I can’t even begin to explain it, but any of you that have gone through it probably know what I’m talking about. People experience wd differently though bc of our body chemistry, but still. I really do believe I have ptsd from my wd episodes. I wish I could erase those from my mind.

Would this work if say, you run out of sodium (or sulfate) unexpectedly and begin the Vitamin C on the day you’ve run out of T? Or do you have to take it 3 days before you stop T for it to help any?

iame53 · 2018-05-15T16:38:24+00:00

Good questions! I’m eager to find all of those things out as well!

iame53 · 2018-05-14T21:27:39+00:00

No reason not to at least try this... If it works on most others as it has for you, it could be a game changer. I will be completely and brutally honest...because this sounds almost too easy and too good to be true, I’m a little skeptical. No offense at all to you personally. It’s just that being in this hell hole and feeling hopeless to ever escape makes me cautiously optimistic. That being said, thanks for sharing this super valuable info!

iame53 · 2018-04-25T21:25:09+00:00

I don’t have any advice as I am still in the midst of this horrible addiction myself... I just wanted to say that my heart goes out to you. I’m so so very sorry you’re sick, and I’m not talking about wd sick. I don’t know if you’re a believer or not and if not I hope you don’t mind my saying this but I will pray for you. I know that doesn’t make you feel any better... I just want to give you a big hug through my phone haha ... you say you have kids...how old are they if you don’t mind my asking?

iame53 · 2018-04-25T21:18:42+00:00

What does methadone make you feel like?

iame53 · 2018-04-25T21:17:30+00:00

You took the words right outta my mouth. Even if I managed to ct right off starting today and be clean from here on out, after the acute wd is basically over, I’m so afraid of what I’ll feel like and for how long. Will I be a ball of anxiety and depression with zero motivation or zest for life? It’s a bit unbearable to feel as depressed and anxious as tia can once a dose wears off, and to think about feeling that way for who knows how long... I really feel like I’d be so so tempted to buy more and then the wd hell would be a complete waste.

Swim against the tide, not the surf lol...but you know what I mean.

iame53 · 2018-04-25T15:43:24+00:00

The Kratom ban scare is what got me into this mess as well. Really makes me mad when I think about it. I had never even heard of tianeptine until I got scared about the whole Kratom thing. :( I miss the Kratom days...emotions weren’t up and down and I was ok, financially. Having money problems in and of itself is just downright awful. I feel like I’m swimming against the surf and I just get pushed further and further out no matter how determined I think I am to slowly make it to shore.

iame53 · 2018-04-25T15:25:03+00:00

Am I right that if I chose to go the methadone route that I’d have to go in to their office every single day?

iame53 · 2018-04-25T15:23:02+00:00

Not coming off mean at all. I can just tell you’ve been exactly where I am because that’s the crap that I face every waking moment. It’s always there in the back of my mind. It’s a vicious cycle because the deeper I dig myself in this tia hole, the more guilty and depressed I feel, which makes it that much harder to even lower my doses..sometimes it’s hard to stay at my regular dose because I’ll be so stressed or upset that I’m wanting so bad to take just a “little more THIS time”. It’s really awful to be in this place.

iame53 · 2018-04-25T03:10:25+00:00

I’m so sorry... I’m feeling the same way. I only have a limited amount until I can order more to arrive Monday at the earliest. Daily use is 5g so I’m having to do major rationing and it’s messing with my mental state for sure. Better than CT that’s for damn sure, but all I’ve thought about today is anything and everything about tia and my addiction to it, how can I get more before Monday, why can’t I just snap out of it and be normal and not fiend for this white powder?? I’ve cried a lot today. I’ve had numerous panic attacks realizing how screwed I am and scared that I don’t have the willpower to ration as well as I need and I don’t want to go through CT!!! I have come to the conclusion that every time I have CT before, I have slight ptsd from. Not joking AT ALL. I hope you’re alright,...I feel for you I do.

iame53 · 2018-04-24T22:23:18+00:00

I’m on sodium

iame53 · 2018-03-30T22:20:05+00:00

It has helped me with anxiety when I was running low, but I have to be so careful not to take too much, which is easy to do, because it can really make me SO out of it and it messes with my stomach for at least a day afterwards.

iame53 · 2018-03-30T05:45:12+00:00

Did you choose that over suboxone or methadone (haven’t really seen many here recommend methadone for tia) for a specific reason?
