I have been using the new Tianeptine Sulfate for five days now, and it just blows away Tianeptine Sodium. The timed release effect works perfectly - a single dose lasts at least six hours, if not ten. There are no highs and lows in mood. There's no strong euphoria, and more importantly, there's no crash either.
