Talk:Tianeptine

In my subjective experience, tianeptine is definitely a creativity enhancer, at least when it comes to writing which is a skill that I have that augments tenfold after taking it. Should I add Creativity Enhancement to this substance?

@Fitdisk: Ey! I'm Corticosteroid, a scholar (it's not as fancy as it sounds, I promise) on this site. When saying something like, "should (effect) be added," it's usually wise to: give a dose, list the circumstances, tolerance, any other prescription medications, etc, or you can also look on Erowid Experience Vaults as well as other anecdotal reports. If creativity enhancement is in a majority of those and it's often proportional to dose, add it. Higher-ranks might also comment after me, so don't add it just yet. --Corticosteroid (talk) 00:18, 22 May 2018 (UTC)

It so far seems that you're not alone. Out of about 10 people on the EEV taking just tianeptine regularly/not combining it with other things, most have some form of creativity enhancement. I'd still recommend further input.

@Corticosteroid: Hey, sup! Well, I do take quite a crapload of medication, but it might as well be unrelated to the effects of the drug, as I particularly 'feel it' when I take it - it starts at 50mg slightly-moderately and at full blast at 75mg. Takes the edge off social anxiety at the 75mg dose. I take it sporadically, but even if I take it continously I still notice the effects.

I have to mention that I am taking prescription medication for HPPD and major depression and anxiety, so I also take Effexor, Lamictal, and Valium. However, I've felt this creativity effect previous to Effexor and when I was taking another benzo. I've seemed to have developed a tolerance to benzodiazepines either way :( - Fitdisk
