> Amy, what have you felt from tianeptine so far? I know it's only a few days, but I was wondering what the initial side effects have been so far, such as increased start-up anxiety, insomnia, nausea, whatever. Also, any early hints of feeling better in terms of depression?
Thanks all.
Hey Blueberry, in answer to your questions....
I've had barely any side effects at all and for me this is very odd because I'm hyper sensitive to medications as well as food and most chemicals. :S
for the first 2 days I had a slight stomach upset (which is normal for me with all meds) and a mild headache. They've all gone away now and I'm on day 5. I don't know if it's something to do with my dosing which has made the side effects less. I take 5 doses of half a 12.5 mg tab each day because of the short half life. Today is probably the first day I've felt slightly better. my anxiety is slightly less and my depression has got a little better. I guess I'm still waiting.
There was no start up anxiety with this drug at all and sleep for me has been better but I am having more trouble getting to sleep when I take my last tablet late at night.
I'm hopeful about this med. Like I said I've been on a million of them and so far so good.
Amy
