Trying to figure out if there's any point in trying to order agomelatine from overseas. I see it's a 5-HT2b antagonist and a 5-HT2c antagonist, plus melatonin. Seems like the first 2 characteristics are similar to serzone and trazodone, both of which I've tried of course, without benefit; I've tried everything. Anyone knows how agomelatine differs from those? With the liver problems reported with agomelatine, I wonder if it's most like serzone. Plus the added melatonin, can't help but wonder if the AD effect the studies claim is mostly do the improved sleep from that. Melatonin doesn't do much for my severe insomnia, maybe has a slight additive effect to Ambien. And I can't help but worry about a med that involves taking melatonin daily: anyone know if this might cause a decrease in production of your own melatonin? (Seems so strange to me that melatonin is available OTC; it's a hormone, you can't buy other hormones like thyroid or estrogen OTC). Anyone know exactly how agomelatine differs from other AD's besides the addition of melatonin? Cecilia
