Seeing really good cognitive benefits from tianeptine

2nd week of tianeptine. I really like this substance. My mood is better., but the biggest benefit has been my love of learning and my ability to remember things is what it was before I started to suffer from extreme depression /stress.
Feeling like my old self from 5 years ago before I started suffering from literally debilitating depression. I am on WB and celexa for that and my mood has been stable off a while. The tianeptine seemed to give me a little boost.
But the main thing I noticed is the memory is coming back. I used to read articles/ papers all the time, but couldn't remember anything about them the next day. I had been able to do that before I started suffering from literally debilitating depression. Even after my mood was good it felt like I was still not back to where I was before. My love for learning has also come back. Even though my mood had improved I still would just like to vegetate and play video games. Now I would rather read and learn instead of blowing people up on BF4I know this is not a placebo. I had taken tons of other supplements/racetams in the hope I would get it back with not very good results. I wish I had discovered this substance a few years ba…

That is what I had for a long time. Treatment resistant depression. I was really bad..suicidal thoughts...really bad depression in the mornings that would lift at night and then come back as soon as I woke up.
Literally I became disabled and had to take a couple leaves of abscence from work and was on short term disability I went to two doctors before I found one that could sort of get me out of the funk. I thought I was hopeless and was seriously considering seeking shock treatments.
I wish I had stumbled upon the nootropics section of reddit before. The substance could have helped immensely. I mostly was on longecity, and I never really saw tianeptine mentioned.

Well welcome to /r/Nootropics!
I'm glad you are getting a handle on your depression. I went through a bad depression about 7 years ago, so I know how bad it can get. Just be sure to use nootropics as a part of your journey, and not a complete solution. Real healing has to come from within. Nootropics/antidepressants can certainly make that easier. However, you need to learn how to manage your symptoms psychologically as well.
