Can anyone post or PM me a source for agomelatine?  I recently had a genetic test done which suggests SSRIs might not be a good fit for me, which certainly accords with my experience.  I'm very interested in purchasing agomelatine but apparently it is not sold in the U.S.

 

Thanks!

I ordered some after reading people benefit equally from it compared to Lexapro and it has less sides. I haven’t made the switch yet because of this:

Thanks for the heads up, John- I appreciate you taking the time to post that.  Very disappointing to see those links; I think the meta-study of various anti-depressants done in the Lancet a little while back was pretty favorable on agomelatine, but obviously it had its limitations.  Between the questionable efficacy and the potential liver danger, agomelatine looks a lot less attractive.  I'll have to discard agomelatine as an option, at least for now.

Yeah it’s too bad because I was looking forward to the melatonin agonist effects
