Thanks, Lunar
I'm intrigued that Tianeptine is a serotonin reuptake ENHANCER yet apparently still has antidepressant qualities. Â
Many cannot tolerate the brain fog associated with SSRI's (inhibitors).

Hi Lechter,
I have also used Powder City for Tianeptine, and many other products that they carry.
Tread lightly with dosing to see what works best for you.
I have heard that there is potential for addiction at higher doses.
cheers!

Good advice, zorada... Too much of anything is generally NO good, money and love being notable exceptions!
I've heard from some that Tianeptine was effective for them at 1/3 dose or 12.5mg once a day.

Just an FYI. The last batch of tianeptine I got from powder city was ehh. The order was placed on Nov 4. I didn't think to test it when I got it b/c they always provide quality. So it sat and waited until I finished the last bag. If I would have tried it right away I would have considered returning it.
It might behoove anyone who is contemplating an order from powdercity to email and ask if they are still selling out of the same batch from Nov.4
Basically, it caused a little more brain fog than I prefer, so it might be possible that the tianeptine is the same and I have changed.

Lunar,
Did you take the tianeptine with either 5-HTP or choline?
I've read positive reports of combination with the former.

Thanks for the advice. I have both 5-HTP and choline on hand and will give one a try today.
I've heard choline helps with the brain fog caused by other nootropics, like piracetam.
Lechter, any suggestion on dosage? I know a two to one ratio is recommended when using choline bitartrate with piracetam. But two grams of choline seems like a lot when I'm only taking 100mgs of tianeptine and too much choline can cause brain fog too.

You would probably do well with 500mg of choline bitartrate.
However, 5-HTP will have a far more pronounced effect than the choline.

Do you stack them? Or use them individually?
