Does anyone take agomelatine for their anxiety and depression?

Posted by ellemccope @ellemccope, May 5, 2024

I suffer from diurnal mood variation. Agomelatine has been approved to treat it in Europe and Australia. Has anyone in the US been able to get it? Or does anyone have any information about when it might get approved in the U.S. I am terribly depressed and anxious in the morning and throughout the day. It doesn’t get better until the evening — then I start to feel “normal”. I have tried several SNRIs, SSRIs, and now I’m on Mirtazapine but have only received a partial response. My psychiatrist has recently added Lamictal but I haven’t been on it long enough to know if it will be effective. In the meantime, because I so desperately want relief from my anxiety and depression, I want to find out if anyone has taken Agomelatine?
Thanks so much! I look forward to your replies.

I have struggled with depression most of my life. I am antidepressant resistant.

@caluginb - welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. Sorry to hear you've struggled with depression for so long.

Does your current combination of medications seem to be making any impact?
