Scott,

> I began taking agomelatine a few weeks ago. Everything in my body hurts. I stoop like an old man when getting out of a chair. At times, the pain is random in its location throughout the body. If I favor one arm, the other one begins to hurt.

So sorry that Valdoxan did not work out. You gave it a fair try via your two trials.

As you know, Valdoxan stopped my bipolar ultra rapid cycling and, as a result, my depressive phases no longer occur. The one caveat is that if I forget to take my vitamins and supplements for two or more days in a row, I become dysthymic and very sleepy-tired during the day. Within a couple of hours after resuming my vitamins and supplements, I become completely well again.

As you also know, I added Valdoxan to my combo on 8/4/10 and it continues to work today. I had four nights of nightmares and vertigo as start-up side effects. As shown at the bottom of this page, I currently take 12.5 mg/night of Valdoxan.

After 14.5 years of trying to stop my ultra rapid cycling, I am thankful beyond description that I am finally well. Scott, I wish with all my heart that you find wellness soon.

I also wish that everyone on PB will find full relief for their particular disorder. I know the pain and I wish that relief would be provided for all.

If it were not for PB and the people that post here, I'm not sure that I would have ever found the cocktail that has made me well.

Scott, sorry to step on your thread. I just wanted to let the record show that while Valdoxan does not help everyone, it does provide good benefit to some.
