Can Tianeptine help?

[Technical-Limit-39]

Recovering from a lingering shoulder injury and trad meds like naproxen and muscle relaxers haven't really helped. I'm wondering if Tianeptine is good for pain relief and maybe manage my anxiety too? I know that there are risks at high doses and long-term use but anyone here tried it for either issue? Would like to hear what worked and what didn't.

honestly, it's tough when you're still in pain and dealing with anxiety. Instead of looking into Tianeptine, which has a lot of serious warnings and addiction risks associated with it, I'd urge you to explore other proven options with your healthcare provider.
There are many therapies for chronic pain (like physical therapy variations, acupuncture, nerve blocks) and anxiety (like specific anti anxiety medications, CBT, or mindfulness) that could be much safer and more effective long term than resorting to unapproved substances

Tianeptine might help with anxiety a bit, but there are tons of buts and ifs, so it carries plenty of risks. As for the physical pain it won't do anything, so like @KingOfSleep said it probably will be worthless. You need a combo of anti inflamitory drugs plus something for the anxiety, so you have two docs to talk to.

Wild how folks are turning to tianeptine, an antidepressant banned in some states as a painkiller just because OTC meds fall short. Are we fixing pain, or just self-medicating our way into a bigger problem?
