Hi. This is my first message. I'm from Spain and I've been suffering
from insomnia and depression for quite a long time (6 years or so).Over the years I've tried practically every single AD but I haven't
found one whose effect lasted long. The AD I've been more time on is
Cymbalta (until it stopped working and I felt like I was deprived of
my feelings, a very creepy and sad feeling). My insomnia is right now
my main concern since it has affected my life in every field.Agomelatine
There is something really strange about this AD.
I've been able to feel its positive effects and it was simply amazing:
I could slept greatly, I got energy all day long, I felt braver and
more confident. I felt like doing things all the time. I started to
listen to music again and resumed my forgotten hobbies. The drug I had
all been all my life looking for. It started working from the first
day.I have to point out that I only felt this effect when switching from
fluoxetine (Prozac) to Agomelatine.So I thought that maybe Fluoxetine + Prozac was the right combination
for me and started taking both. But... It just didn't work. I couldn't
feel those amazing positive effects.Then I tried to take agomelatine alone but i didn't feel any positive
effects (maybe it needed more time to work)Last week I changed from Prozac to Agomelatine and I felt again those
wondrous effects but it didn't last long, just three days.Kind of strange, isn't it?
The Prozac dose I was taking was 10mg (half pill).
From what I recall reading is that
it only had 5HT2-C antagonistic qualities at lower doses so...
Maybe that great feeling was the mixture of the 5HT2-C antagonistic
qualities of Prozac (since it has such long life and I had stopped
taking just before taking ago) + Ago itself.So, do you think it might be a good idea to take for instance, 5mg
Prozac (1/4 pill) + Ago ? Would I get then that estimulating feeling
on a daily basis?Thank you so much!
