Tianeptine sulfate: Anyone have any stomach problems

I told Stablon some years back. Really liked it, but quit because of the hassle and expense of getting it from abroad.
I recently tried Tianeptine Sulfate and after a few weeks ended up with a case of ulceratie colitis (this was followed by two rounds of c-diff, so a very sick and miserable summer). This happened after I finished a long course of antibiotics, including cipro, so the colitis may have had absolutely nothing at all to do with the Tianeptine Sulfate and instead being the result of c-diff or something similar the first time, followed by the two c-diff episodes, as the antibiotic likely killed off all my beneficial stomach flora and I didn't take a probiotic (I take them now!).
Anyway, I determined that the Tianeptine Sulfate was not to blame and recently started to use it again. After a few days my stomach started to hurt, right up at the top where it hurt the first time, and so I discontinued. Again, this could be total coincidence, although I think I'm going to steer clear of it from now on, although I might take true Stablon again.
I'm just curious if anyone else has had any problems. Is there any reason the "sulfate" might cause more stomach upset than the "sodi…

I didn't get this, even with 100mg.
/u/MisterYouAreSoDumb can we please tag Tianeptine Sulfate posts with high risk? There are no studies.....

We can tag anything with high risk. However, then the tag loses its meaning. Even FDA approved pharmaceuticals have bad reactions. Just turn the TV on in the US, and I'm sure you'll get a pharma advert with a long list of possible side effects rattled off at the end. This one is not even a confirmed bad reaction. He had C-Diff, and went on rounds of antibiotics. That screws with your GI tract.
Sulfate salts are very commonly used in compounds. Adderall has amphetamine sulfate in it. Magnesium sulfate is Epsom salt. Extended release morphine is a sulfate salt. Albuterol is given in a sulfate salt. It being a sulfate salt does not make it high risk. Coluracetam does not have human studies. Should that be high risk? What about compounds with only a few Russian studies? Where should the line be drawn? Zero studies? Zero human studies? 1 human study, as long as it is done in the west? I think the usefulness of the tag diminishes, unless we only use it on compounds that have shown to be high risk. If anything, the sulfate salt is lower risk than the sodium. I only see people abusing the sodium salt.
