I took it for 3 months in 2010... didn't do much of anything for me. It was disappointing, I had high hopes for it as it sounded very good on paper.
What's especially annoying about Valdoxan is it's incredibly vague instructions ("take before retiring"). Uhmm... that's not specific enough for a drug that supposedly regulates your circadian rhythms. Maybe the prescribing info has been updated since then.
What kind of physical symptoms are you experiencing? For pain, low energy, disrupted sleep etc Savella (milnacipran) could be an excellent choice. Apparently Cymbalta works well too, but I don't have first hand experience with that one.
