r/Valdoxan_Agomelatine

Hi, has anyone experienced a quieting of the critical inner voice, anxious thoughts and general anxiety?

My doctor has advised me to increase my dose. I’ve only been on 25mg so far.

Can anyone with experience tell me what kinds of side effects they had when increasing to 37.5mg or 50mg? And how do those side effects compare to when you first started?

Thanks!

Hi, I’m 35 and queer, and have cptsd from religious childhood trauma, conversion therapy and parents who constantly told me I wasn’t enough. I’ve always felt a sense of hopelessness and self hatred due to what I can now identify as a guilt, shame spiral, which I’m working through with a therapist and starting my emdr journey. I’ve been recently prescribed valdoxan due to sleep issues and depression, has anyone had any experience getting some relief from valdoxan for my set of issues?

Fluoxetine has cooked my sex drive after 8 years (and post partum has cooked it even more so now lol)

Has anyone either had a good experience and had their sex drive bounce back after changing to valdoxan or has had any changes or issues at all?

Psychiatrist has recommended valdoxan above all to help with my PMDD insomnia and worsened anxiety/depression but I haven’t heard too much about sexual side effects

Have been weening and on half dose since January and just got the all clear from blood/liver test so hoping to start next month!

Started 25mg Valdoxan last night in addition to my 25mg Zoloft. Got a headache starting the dose, noticed increased needing to pee and got dry mouth. Woke up feeling a little dizzy and blurry vision as well as increased anxiety.

Wondering if anyone had similar experience?

I have never had general anxiety or depression and then randomly started having panic attacks out of the blue 12 months post partum. Drs put it down to late onset post partum anxiety due to hormones and a severe lack of sleep thanks to my sons HORRIBLE sleep.

I was put on fluoxetine, it was awful, my anxiety skyrocketed and i had constant intrusive thoughts and lost 10kg in 3 weeks, i was switched to sertraline and it wasnt much better.

I quit cold turkey and went the last 3 months with nothing and felt a hell of a lot better than i did on meds and have managed to not have any panic attacks since january but randomly the other day severe anxiety returned and intrusive thoughts.

Dr was apprehensive to start me on any other meds given my previous reaction so felt this one was best.

I reeaaaally pray this is the one for me.

I have nothing to be anxious about, but for some reason i just constantly feel scared for absolutely no reason.

And i'm not depressed about anything other than feeling so anxious all the time!!

Please give me your positive stories!!

So, my sleep boners have long been gone
And every night on 10 mgs agomelatine they’ve been strong so strong that they wake me up. Who has this too?

I know the title is weird but hear me out.

I’ve been taking agomelatine (Domion brand) for 19 days now.

Every time I take it, without fail, I start to feel a really warm liquidy sensation in my upper left abdomen and chest/throat within thirty minutes of taking the dose.

It’s almost a sickly burning sensation.

Anyone else? Does it go away?

It’s not terribly uncomfortable but I’d really rather not have it because it makes me anxious.

I've been on Agomelatonin for 6 weeks now and haven't seen any improvement. Weirdly my overthinking has increased and I feel more down.... And it doesn't make me feel like doing anything since starting it, which makes it worse because I was actively going to the gym before starting.

Did anyone else have a negative experience that you ended up coming off it? How many weeks did you give it until you stopped?
