Experience with Tianeptine

I recently purchased a bottle of Tianeptine pills that are 12 mg meant to be taken three times a day.
Due to the lack of experience reports on this nootropic, I have decided to document my experience.
It has been one week since I have started taking tianeptine. While it is suggested it be taken 3× a day, I have found that I sometimes have taken it twice a day due to my erratic sleep cycle as I work nights.
The first time I took a pill I did notice the similar effects that people report, a very mild calming sensation, alertness, and a boost of energy. These effects were subtle enough that if I had taken it accidentally I might not have noticed anything. I figured that the effects might have just been a placebo effect.
It was not until I started to come off it four hours later that I realized what I was experiencing early was an effect from the medication and not in my head. The feeling associated with coming down was a mild tingling in my chest area. It felt as one might feel as they are on a roller-coaster and about to drop. It was not uncomfortable, but it was noticeable. Upon taking my next dose these feelings dissipated.
Over the next four or five days, I noticed that…

I'd like to add that I've ordered Tianeptine from powder city (currently on back order I believe), and recently from ceretropic. The Tianeptine from the former was definitely more potent; I can even taste the difference. The effects from ceretropic are way more mild.
Just a heads up when you order supplements, I think the supplier is just as important as the choice of the supplement itself.

Hahaha, what? You can taste the difference, and that corresponds to potency? We had people that used to buy from Nootropics Depot start buying from us. They said ND's was more potent than ours. Little did they know we had bought ND's Tianeptine. It was literally Nootropics Depot's Tianeptine they were taking, and they thought it was less potent because our label was on it. Tolerance, placebo/nocebo, and perception all alter things. I have emails from people saying ours is the most potent Tianeptine they have taken too. I've tested both NewMind's and Powder City's Tianeptine, along with ours. They are all exactly the same. I can do it again if you really want me to.
