The 5-HT2c antagonism yields an increase in NE and DA activity in the prefrontal cortex. Serotonin is not involved. After investigating this, I was unafraid to add agomelatine to Nardil.

Also, as I mentioned my buddy wants an anoxyilitic to take the edge off. Does agomelatine help at all with this. What would be your top choices?Some of my choices won't jive. He does not want to use a benzo, pregabalin, or gabapentin. Besides some basic supplements like mag. glycinate pwd., I am searching for meds. to help him. He is on the fence with the TCA's and I'm not sure how helpful they would be?
what do you think of Gabatril or Topomax (dopeomax) ;p. Other ideas for him ?
Thanks!
