>Would you suggest stepping it back to 12,5 mg, or does the tiredness/sluggishness go away on its own
I was wondering if the net effect from agomelatine might be more helpful and more pleasant for you at a lower dose?
The tiredness does go away. This wasn't good for me because I found the tiredness calming. I *think* we are talking about the same thing. At any rate I could have had more mileage out of it if I had jacked up the dose more slowly. I took it for a couple of years.
Agomelatine is stimulating in a hard (for me) to define way.
It's also a bit toxic. You may have heard about a patent for a sublingual version? The dose for that is microscopic. In the process of investigating that I tasted the stuff.....just terrible....acrid. Might have something to do with the liver thing.
