This reporter traveled to another independently operated Marathon Gas Station in Jackson, Miss., where the cashier sold a bottle of Zaza for $28.

Under the “direction for use” label on the bottle was the phrase “research purposes only.”

The labeling also stated: “The Food and Drug Administration has neither reviewed these statements nor approved this product for consumption. #tianeptine https://www.mississippifreepress.org/30028/addiction-to-over-the-counter-tianeptine-lands-corinth-businessman-in-rehab

#TIL about #Tianeptine abuse. Heck, I learned of its existence! Insane that you can buy an atypical antidepressant at a gas station.

As a #CRPSwarrior I’ve had my share of opiates and withdrawal from opiates. I also have taken myself off clonazepam after 3 mgs a day for ten years. This was so painful I almost took my life.
Still in a lot of pain now I just use cannabis, hashish, psilocybin and occasionally ketamine to battle flares and really bad pain days.
THANK FUCK I decided to never try #tianeptine.
