Tianeptine is an atypical antidepressant, chemically related to the tricyclic antidepressants, that has been used since the 1980s to treat major depressive disorder and anxiety, mainly in parts of Europe, Asia, and Latin America under brand names such as Stablon and Coaxil. Long thought to work by an unusual effect on serotonin, it was later shown to be an agonist at the mu-opioid receptor, with weaker action at the delta-opioid receptor, which is now regarded as central to its effects [1][2]. This opioid activity also underlies a growing problem of misuse; sold in some markets as an unapproved supplement and nicknamed gas station heroin, tianeptine can cause opioid-like euphoria, dependence, and withdrawal, and it is not approved as a medicine in the United States [1].
