Looks like this thread is old but still active. That said, I used tianeptine in 2009 when I was suffering from crippling Depersonalization/Derealization Disorder after intense and prolonged emotional trauma.
I ordered from India (live in US) and got 12.5 mg foil packs of tianeptine sodium salts and dosed at 3x daily . I noticed improvement in my symptoms within the first day. I had been living the horrors of DP/DR for nearly two years and was desperate but didn't want to use benzos. I only used tianeptine for a few months and stopped with no problems whatsoever.
Now I am exhausted from dealing with soul numbing depression that has plagued me for years. I ordered tianeptine sulfate, as I have read that it is more effective for depression than the sodium salt variety. I intend to titrate up to 40 mg over a few days unless I see positive results at a lower dose.
Is the sulfate easier to weigh and handle? Does it absorb water less readily than the salts? I purchased a scale and thought I might cut parchment or wax paper to measure it out on and fold it up for transporting.
I don't relish trying to ingest this dry or sublingually. I have Esophagitis and doing so would be foolhardy. So I am wondering if instead of making a solution in liquid (which I understand is undesirable), I could stir it into olive oil and swallow it. That would probably create a suspension and hopefully not alter the sulfer bond.
Any thoughts?
Also, any more word on scrutiny by law enforcement following the death in Texas that was linked to tianeptine? What is the shelf life? I may want to stock up.
