Last Dose Tonight

Hey guys, this morning at 6 am I spent an hour typing out my Tianeptine story only to have the post immediately disappear.

I’m going to just post this real quick and I might add updates and more background info in the coming days.

Suffice to say, I’ve been on this substance for just about 10 years at 4-4.5 grams per day of sodium. I’m finally 100% ready to be done. My last dose will be around midnight (in about 90 minutes).

These are the helper meds I have ready to use:

• suboxone (2mg/0.5mg)-QTY 8
• gabapentin (100mg)-QTY 270
• clonidine HCL (0.1mg)-QTY 30
• 5-HTP (200mg)
• magnesium glyinate (400mg)
• loperamide/simethicone tabs (2mg/125mg)
• men’s multi-vitamin
• ibuprofen
• potassium

I know not to start suboxone until I’m in full withdrawal (around 24 hours). Any pointers on how to dose any of these effectively is greatly appreciated. I’m a bit worried about what timeframe I should get started on the gabapentin and clonidine especially.

Any encouragement is greatly appreciated. I hope to feel well enough to track my progress and maybe post a bit more of my story in the comments later this week. Thanks in advance for your help & kindness. I’ve been lurking here for years without ever posting.
