Tianeptine causing headaches / migraines and nausea?
Original post in this thread

Started taking Ceretropic's Tianeptine (sodium) solution yesterday. Took 3x 12.5mg spaced out during the day, and a few hours after the first dose I developed a nasty headache with some stomach discomfort (bloating, nausea). Woke up this morning with another headache and came very close to vomiting which is rare for me. Have been feeling slightly dizzy today and have a faint ache behind one eye.
Has anyone else experienced headaches / migraines or nausea when starting out on tianeptine? I also started Ceretropic's B12 supplement which I took 1mg of on Monday, 2mg yesterday, and 1mg this morning, and had 100mg of l-theanine for the first time yesterday.
Perhaps it was too many new things at once and my brain is reacting to the combination. Wondering if I should persevere with tianeptine or give myself a few days to get back to normal and then try again at a lower daily dose.

That's a common side effect of Tianeptine in some people.

Normally it happens more often if you mix with alcohol or are a bit dehydrated. Have you been drinking enough water?
