OP says their psychiatrist prescribed them this so I'm going to unlock the thread.
yeah. I'm following what psych said.
3 pills. breakfast, lunch and dinner no side effects now. a little less anxiety I guess
Did he initialky offer it or did you do your research and inquire about it? It feels like the latter situation is more likely
RemindMe:Week or whatever. You're in for a roller coaster ride of chronic opioid withdrawl synptoms—if you think your ADHD is bad now...
I've set up a reminder in 2 weeks
How can I do that going forward can you copy and paste the code between a pair of backwards things like these
she offered 1st based on possible side effects I wanted to avoid (other antidepressants I tried like fluoxetine affected my sex life, in a negative way). I hadn't read anything about it.
Ah k. Like, you do you but I suggest you read the wikipedia page on Tianeptine, it has narcotic effect (mu-opioid receptor agonist activity).
In a sense, it is to endorphins what stimulants are to norepinephrine/dopamine. Also seems very short half-life 3 hours so you'll be redosing like Whitney on crack.
I've already read the entire wiki, posts, everything I could find. the issue seems to be the dosages. recreational usage is like 1-10g or more. with such low dosage not sure I'll feel something even If I stop cold turkey.
3 pills per day. 12.5mg each. she said to space it out. breakfast, lunch, dinner
2nd day on 37.5.mg. don't feel much. maybe a bit less anxiety. she said it takes over a month to feel the effects. huh lol. next consult is in January. not sure what to feel or believe. Just depressed in general lol
i have the awareness of a potato so... if it's not an obvious feeling, I'll just discard it without thinking about it.
edit: in the past I've stopped taking 72mg for a week (after taking it daily for 3 months or something) and felt.. a bit of a headache. maybe.
It doesn't matter so much how you subjectively feel or your expectations. Its a physiologicical certainty that once you're on it long enough (could be as soon as 1-2 weeks of tri-daily usage. And when you're not using it you'll be in opioid withdrawal chronically unless you plan to install a permanently connected IV push to your veins or stomach or whatever.
Its extremely short acting like crack cocaine so you'll be in discomfort a lot until you push on the bender and keep to music pumpin' ;)
Up to you guy, you've consulted and been advised. I would appreciate if someone showed me how to set up time-notifications and I'll set it for 2 weeks and if you could commit to getting us all up to speed, that would be an interesting Lemmy-experiment 👨🔬
chronical withdrawal? damn. you're scaring me. a bit. what exactly do you mean?
if I stop taking it. 5 months from now, without taking it, will I still feel the withdrawal or something?
UPDATE. still alive. don't feel anything tbh. maybe helps a bit with the Concerta crash. some days I forget to take 1 or 2 out of the 3 daily pills. maybe a bit more anxiety those days? can't distinguish between anxiety caused by real world problems
next consult is January, will probably stop taking it. slowly I imagine to reduce sideffects. or I could try cold turkey. really curious about how'd feel. if anything at all.
I would avoid it, you don't need mu-opioid receptor agonists to treat your ADHD. Otherwise heroin addicts would be the most prolific workers among us
