SB 1512 — Controlled Substances
by Senator Brodeur
This summary is provided for information only and does not represent the opinion of any Senator, Senate Officer, or Senate Office.
Prepared by: Criminal Justice Committee (CJ)
The bill amends s. 893.13, F.S., to add tianeptine to the list of Schedule I controlled substances. Schedule I substances have a high potential for abuse and no currently accepted medical use in treatment in the United States.
“Tianeptine” is an antidepressant agent with a novel neurochemical profile. It increases serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine; 5-HT) uptake in the brain (in contrast with most antidepressant agents) and reduces stress-induced atrophy of neuronal dendrites.
If approved by the Governor, or allowed to become law without the Governor’s signature, these provisions take effect July 1, 2024.
Vote: Senate 39-0; House 112-0
