Bad Batch of Tianeptine Sodium?

Because of the tianeptine shortage, I took a chance on an unknown vendor (ordertianeptine.com). I found him through eBay but he also has a website. He posted an HPLC-type analysis paper along with his auction on eBay. It showed 99% purity.
Tianeptine usually causes a "gnawing" sensation in my stomach. Taking it with food always counteracts this sensation. Not so with this batch. Last night the gnawing and gurgling culminated in severe diarrhea, nausea and pain. I tried taking a much smaller dose today (12.5 mg according to my scale) and within 20 minutes the gurgling was back. Food does not help. My brain also feels "off"...more anxiety and cognitive impairment than usual. Most worryingly, my hands won't stop trembling. It's a minor tremor, but still noticeable.
Have any of you ordered from this vendor before? What adulterants or impurities might be present in a badly-synthed batch of tianeptine? Before trying this batch, I ordered some of the tianeptine sulfate from the same vendor. Should I throw that out too?
R.I.P. my stomach :[
UPDATE: The tianeptine sulfate from the same vendor does not cause these side effects for me. Makes me think there is somethin…

MisterYouAreSoDumb; What is the testing you are going to run? Do you have your own lab? I'm curious on what the procedure is? An example i can think of is a test strip in sanitizer water for a food establishment. The only way I have found to get tianeptine tested for impurities is sending off to a Chemical Testing for Analysis. This is why I am curious if you are going to have sent off. Any info would be appreciated as I am a green horn with nootropics.
