User Comments about Agomelatine
14 Apr 2012 I've been taking it for about 7 months now and it has cured my insomnia very well. The only side effect is that I've gained about 7 kilos so far.

24 Sep 2011 Initially I felt very well and active on this drug. After three weeks on 25mg Agomelatine I was severely depressed but proactively suicidal. My consultant did not tell me it would make me more proactive but not necessarily control depression. I think this was irresponsible!

21 Sep 2011 I'm not sure if it helps or not but I use it with pristiq and my symptoms have not got worse and there are no side effects, it does help with sleep which is a great help.
