So would you say in your experence that agomelatine isn't as strong as parnate?
I heard in the studies and from a few people who have tried "everything" that Ago has been working on severely TRD cases.
Maybe it just takes a while?
I think the brain can actually heal itself.....and normalizing circadian rhythms are a HUGE HUGE HUGE and underresearched part of that intrinsic healing process. When we take meds were basically artificially doing something the brain actually has capacity to do itself, as long as the brain can rest correctly.
Nightime light, substances like caffeine, sedentary lifestyles, environmental stressors.....all screw up circadian rhythms and limit the ability of the brain to repair itself and defend itself against stresses.
Obviously it's more complicated than that, but lots of sleep meds put you down, but don't necessarily renormalize circadian rhythms. I think thats why lots of people are excited to to try Ago. The 5htc thing seems like a "kicker" .
