Tianeptine and Libido

[djohn051]

I am not sure if anyone is familiar with a nootropic called tianeptine. I have taken it occasionally over the course of my PFS battle and I find it really restores me libido. At every other point my libido has been at 0% and it has been this way for 19 months (since I quit). Does anybody know why tianeptine does this? Could it be the dopaminergic effects? Does this say anything about my particular case and other things that I should be considering?

Hmm, I've got some on hand - I should see if I get any libido effect from it. Tianeptine normalizes the currents between the AMPA and NMDA receptors, so that could potentially contribute as well if your AMPA and NMDA are out of whack.

Ya, I'd say give it a go. Don't over do it, but do just enough that you start to get that mild opioid feeling. I find when I'm in that state I get really high functioning, anxiety dissipates and I feel my sexuality come back.

I thought I might try the sulfate version once a day. Could anyone recommend a doseage? Something that's annoying is that I can only find powder and it sure it hard to measure out fractions of grams to create capsules.

I believe it is a habit forming substance

25mg of sulfate form is the standard place to start. It's a shame that nootropicsdepot stopped selling tianeptine, they always had great quality caps and powder.

Took Coaxil for a year a long time ago. I thought that drug make me dumb as a brick while on it. It is a serious drug , not a joke.

Also very addictive and I think it might have lead me to having panic attacks.

Yeah, not good for chronic use. It does make you dumb in a similar way to opiates. I sliced my thumb cutting onions while on it, had never done that before.

Reminds me not to take fk all nearly. Nothing that I don't already trust. Bc, I cut my thumb cutting a lemon the other day. Also trip just walking sometimes. When I was a kid, we had a field trip - to some hilly/mountainous region, I fell into a hole (some hill hole, I don't know). This should have been my first sign. That and walking into the wrong classrooms and losing my jacket every few days. Also up until recently, I literally put on my jacket and tie my shoes while I'm already well outside. FML.

interesting. I think tianeptine works through opoid receptors. Which theoretically, if anything, lower your libido. Gbold's contrarian approach however might have something to it.

I know maxout used kratom as a treat intermittently when on cdnuts protocol. Don't think he reported any snap back effect but that was one of the reasons why I was open minded to gbold because when I used kratom I would get snap back libido before pfs. It would come back twice as strong a day or two after using it and then return to baseline.
