Tianeptine: Something needs to be done
Original post in this thread

Almost daily there is a new thread or comment regarding abuse of Tianeptine. Just yesterday evening there was a post asking how often one can mega-dose tinaeptine safely. One reply is from a gentleman who advocated the safety of IV injecting 100mg+ on a regular basis, as he's done so "safely" for the last two months. IMHO mega-dosing Tianeptine is tantamount to drug abuse; and at these doses has serious implications for addiction and harm. Additionally, many of us find great relief from ailments such as depression, anxiety, and for me PTSD when other treatments have failed. The continued abuse and advocation of by a small minority will undoubtedly lead to a stricter regulation of this otherwise incredible compound, leaving many of us who use it responsibly at therapeutic doses choosing to return to a life without or risk the legal and health implications of buying Tianeptine on the underground market.
I am coming forward to ask the moderators of /r/nootropics to officially ban any submissions that advocate the so-called "safety" of mega-dosing Tianeptine for the long term, and perhaps begin labeling all Tianeptine posts as "DANGEROUS" as we do other potentially habit forming…

I wasn't advocating IVing tianeptine, I was merely sharing my experience with it. The reason you can't have nice things is because America, not what I experiments I do to myself in the privacy of my own home. Banning a specific subreddit topic from being posted isn't going to save your precious tianeptine you myopic fool. Taking action and spreading information touting its usefulness is a much more likely means of getting it to be recognized as a something that should be available to the masses.
It's not even legal to sell for consumption, and you're buying it and consuming it, so you're really not doing tianeptine any favors yourself either.
I could email you some cheese to go with that whine though.

The only way tianeptine is going to be approved, is if someone pays to put it through FDA trials. That costs millions of dollars. Since it is off-patent, that means once it is approved, it's free reign on it, and the company that payed for it to be approved is out the money. Yeah, the system is flawed, and we are all at its mercy. Just be aware that your actions do not just affect you. There are a lot of people out there who's lives would be worse off if it was scheduled. Just think of them too, and know that actions like yours can and will affect them.
I have thought about crowdfunding FDA trials for it, then allowing it to be sold off-patent for depression. That would be possible. It would just be a massive undertaking.
