Well, afaik antidepressant doses of ketamine seem to be lower than 100 mg - which is quite a bit less than the most drastic of recreational doses - I don't know (but would love to see research conducted on) whether that's actually that risky.
Tianeptine is a mu-opioid receptor agonist, so it has abuse & addiction potential above therapeutic doses. It's also rx-only in many countries, according to Wikipedia.
Additionally, ketamine works for a week whereas it's not uncommon for people who use tianeptine to split their daily regimen into something like 3 separate doses throughout the course of the day.
At least neither require several weeks to reach efficacy while initially potentially increasing the severity of depression...

On the same Wikipedia page, "not available [as in, at all, even with a prescription] in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the U.K. or the U.S." Kind of a bummer, I was starting to think I might have something new to look into. Not surprised, though.
- adrusi 11y agoUsually when a drug is not available in the us it means that no regulations address it at all, do its legal to import as long as you don't sell it domestically. Do your researvh, but this is what I hear from nootropics enthusiasts.
- pizza 11y agoYou can order it online no problem in the U.S. I'm not gonna source anything for you b/c I don't want to seem like a shill or anything, but this type of info is easily acquired on r/nootropics - just use your common sense and ignore all the BS medical advice on that subreddit, lol.
