Pushpull, I believe baldness is inherited from the mother's side of the family, not the father's. If you want to know if you are likely to go bald, you should look at your mother's father. As for Tianeptine being a possible cause, I have seen anything like that on any of the websites I've visited. And I've been researching this drug a lot during the past few weeks. Good luck with the hair!

 

I believe the idea that a man's baldness is attributable to his mother's side of the family is a myth.

 

Yes, it is a myth.  Male pattern baldness is heritable from either parent's side, and it may not manifest in every generation or every male in a particular generation, so whether your brothers, father, uncles, or grandfathers and granduncles have it or not isn't a sure indicator of whether you'll get it.

I do not understand the mechanism of tianeptine. What benefits would depleting synaptic serotonin have (I read somewhere that tianeptine is an SSRE, selective serotonin reuptake enhancer)?

 

It has been found recently to act like a mild opioid, which probably is all that is needed to explain its rapid antidepressant effect.  Opioids are known to be great antidepressants.  The SSRE hypothesis is probably just a distraction.

Started this the other day along with Phenibut. Haven't had any euphoria, but it is so far so good.
One question: what is pg?

I always opt for the sodium, simply because I like the buzz. It’s the only drug I actually like. I’ve never had a drug problem in my life, and I suspect that this is due primarily to the fact that I just don’t like any of them. Don’t like alcohol. Can’t stand pot. None of the major controlled substances have much appeal for me. The only psychoactive substances I use are caffeine, nicotine, tianeptine, and etizolam. I’m perfectly content with just these four substances—I don’t need anything else. And the best thing is that all four are cheap, legal, and easily obtainable. There’s another form of tianeptine too—the freebase. NewMind is the only place I know of to get it. I’ve never tried it, but I probably will soon. It’s claimed that since it isn’t water-soluble, it acts more like the sulfate form and is absorbed more slowly from the GI tract than the sodium form. I’d like to find out if it behaves exactly like the sulfate form, or if it’s effects lie somewhere in between the sulfate and sodium forms.
