Tianeptine: Something needs to be done

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…

and much less history of use than tianeptine.
They've both been around since the 60's, no?
Other than that, fair points. I think that tianeptine should be considered high risk for some types of people. I've had trouble with substance abuse in the past and didn't fare well with it. People who have no history of that type of thing seem to be fine on it.

Yes, but Phenibut has only really been used in Russia. Tianeptine has been prescription in a lot of Europe for a while.
I do think people should be aware of the risks of high dose tianeptine. I am just not sure the best way to do that, without alerting to everyone looking to get high that it has that risk.
