New hope for MDD

Sometimes, it's scary to take new medications but upon hearing there's good news, it just made me feel better. New medications - having lesser side effects (eg: sexual dysfunction, drownsiness...etc) & no tapering off dosage required if discontinued.

It works on melatonin rather than serotonin. I wonder one would know whether they have serotonin syndrome or not when taking SSRIs/ SNRIs for a long period of time, especially for years?

Agomelatine sounds better choice for me. It works on sleep cycle & hormones (females hormones changes during PMS).
