I saw that during research about slamming it. The dude that IVed that didn't use the pure powder, and the necrosis was attributed to the binders in the pills since they are only ~13mg each. I don't know if that was true or not, but the syrupy consistency did freak me out a bit (and this is coming from someone who shot up morphine oral syrup), if the shit is too gelled up to pass through a cotton, there's no way I'm putting it in my veins, hence me adding a shitload more water to it.
I'd like to take a pH reading of a supersaturated solution of tianeptine to see what it is. I wouldn't want to miss with the shit, like I said before.
I also wouldn't say the high is like heroin, definitely more "energetic" like oxycodone, not as sedating as heroin, with the peripheral effects of morphine (i.e., crazy itchiness and hardcore nausea). The rush was weird, I don't really remember it since I haven't used it again, but I remember thinking "oh shit, I dun goofed" when it hit me (and my lungs). I didn't think it was going to do anything but make me spew my guts out, but then I was hit with an awesome wave of euphoria and I nodded out for a good minute or two. The peak was probably a good minute or two after the plunger was down, which was also weird, because other opiates hit me in about 20 seconds.
Here's the proof of the coupon still working:

The semi thing was really just a fluke. A staph infection can happen to anyone, even in a hospital setting, when giving an IV. Staphylococcus bacteria are present on the skin of literally everyone, he didn't get an infection from the dope itself. Sure he should have washed his arm and hands, but him shooting tar unfiltered had nothing to do with it.
