I had a benefit of Stablon, but it's 3x a day dosing and expensive price has made it difficult to acquire. Any one know a decent place for the supplement? Please reply or PM
Thanks

We're all being good boys and girls who don't want to upset dear Dr. Bob. It's not allowed to give specific commercial information like that.
In general, I can tell you that there are many tianeptine sources on the web, enough of which are trustworthy, but tianeptine simply isn't a cheap drug, so there doesn't exist a really cheap online source. The cheapest source that I'm aware of is also the most unreliable.
Believe me, I've been searching for cheap tianeptine all over the internet. It's not there.

Does anyone know if the U.S. Plans on releasing an extended release version of the drug? This was one of the few depression medications that didn't cause a jittery/inner tension effect.

The stuff made in India is cheaper.
Opinions differ as to whether it is as good.

The U.S. won't plan to even think about this drug, since it's off patent and there isn't any money to be made out of it anymore. Making an XR version could never be worth the investment.
Tianeptine is a racemate though, a 'stereo drug' with a left and right enantiomer, the left one being the better one*. So theoretically, a drug company could invest in isolating the left enantiomer, just as happened with Celexa -> Lexapro, and heck, why not make it into an XR version while they're at it, and then start making money.
Something tells me this isn't gonna happen.
