Tianeptine (I buy it online, not from head-shops, and it is the real deal), it FOR SURE has an effect on GABA in the way a Benzo does. I was on Clonezepam for over 10 years 2MG at 3 times per day, and when I failed a drug test (Oxy), they immediately took me off it at the doctor's shop saying I was going to die and they were going to get sued if they kept me on it. I went through the WORST Benzo WITHDRAWALS that not even Oxy could help. I ordered Tianeptine Sulfate in a large quantity, and 4 days later it arrived and saved my life. I had been having seizures and no matter what, they would not put me back on a Benzo medication. The Tianeptine Sulfate, I have been on 50MG at 3 times per day for 2 years now, and it feels like a LIGHT Clonezepam (maybe .5 at 50MG). So it is keeping me from the hell of Benzo withdrawal.
Freaking salt of the earth, some of these doctors. Any doctor that wilfully puts someone on SIX mg Clonazepam daily for a decade, and then abruptly takes them off like that, for failing one drug screen for oxy, should have their license removed, and have every red cent they've "earned" over the years taken from them and distributed directly to the thousands of people that have suffered from this negligence. I mean was this the exact same doctor putting you on and taking you off? Or just the same practice?
There is no circumstance that would ever warrant prescribing quite *that* much Clonazepam, anyway, tbh. Anyone that says differently has probably not seen exactly what that does to a person in the long haul, every single time. There is no gain that outweighs the negatives there, that's like a fundamental principle of treatment and prescribing. Really I could only see it ever happening in cases of severe epilepsy or a physical condition, even then I feel like it will cause severe problems at that massive dose, I've seen it and also lived it, it's not pretty. And yeah, oxycodone will likely never bring you much relief from severe benzo wd.
Some of the negligence I've seen displayed from the medical community tells me that a lot of people, parents, and taxpayers wasted a hell of a lot of money and time on schooling. Which is why I hate having to say "well I'm not a doctor
"... Everyone knows that nurses are the pillars of the medical community.
But yeah sry on the rant, lol, regarding tianeptine it can be pretty good for anxiety I found too. For me though, i just found myself taking too much of it daily and not being consistent with it. So when you treat it like that, the diminishing returns are severe.
It sounds like you've worked out a pretty solid regimen, similar to how it would be prescribed anyway, so that's really good. Cause yeah full dependence on the opioid effects of it really sucks.
If you don't mind me asking, are you severely dependent on it? What happens if you skip a dose/day? Do you do tolerance breaks??
