Medication against sleep problems

2017-12-18 11:10:50
Hello! First off thanks for providing this service I really appreciate it. For a few months I've had major sleep problems and heavy mood changes. Talking to my psycho therapist and doctor they advised me to a do a medical treatment and I agreed. I was given an anti depressant called Valdoxan with the active Substance Agomelatin and at first I was decided to taking it, but after buying it I read through the side effects and I'm fearing them and I'm scared of taking them.

Loss of interest, decreased concentration and attention, feeling low and disturbed sleep or appetite are some of the signs of depression. Consult a psychiatrist who will assess you in detail. If you are feeling suicidal or hopeless, seek professional help immediately.
