Valdoxan Description

Nowadays, depression is recognized as a very real medical condition and not just a feeling of sadness that you snap out of. You may experience physical, emotional, and behavioral symptoms that include a loss of appetite, not sleeping or sleeping too much, feelings of guilt, thoughts of harming yourself, and a decreased libido. Talk to your doctor about Valdoxan or generic Agomelatine to help you overcome these symptoms and enjoy life again. The generic alternative is not manufactured by the company that makes the brand product.

Reset Your Circadian Rhythm and Increase Other Brain Chemicals

Valdoxan works differently than other antidepressant drugs as it acts on your brain receptors for melatonin, an important hormone that is responsible for regulating your sleep. It is known that sleep is essential for your body to heal and regroup for the coming day and if you are not sleeping well, you can become depressed. Valdoxan mimics melatonin to help resynchronize your circadian rhythm that includes your moods, appetite, and sleep/wake cycles. Other brain chemicals will also benefit from Valdoxan as it increases the amount of norepinephrine and dopamine to improve your mood. Valdoxan is not addictive and studies show there are no effects on your sexual function or your weight.

Risk Factors for Depression

Factors that can contribute to depression include; traumatic childhood that involved abuse, neglect, or domestic violence, having a chronic illness, a family history of depression, and drug or alcohol abuse. Research also shows that those with insomnia, obstructive sleep apnea, and restless leg syndrome are at a higher risk for depression.

Women are twice as likely to experience depression as men are and three times more likely to have anxiety disorders or attempt to harm themselves. The fluctuation of hormones that women go through during puberty, childbirth, and menopause appears to be a major factor. As more women are entering the job market, whether out of necessity or boredom, they are finding it difficult juggling their work duties and responsibilities at home with children, child care, or caring for an ill relative.

Before Valdoxan is Prescribed

Tell your doctor before taking Valdoxan if you are pregnant, may become pregnant, or are breast feeding as there may be risks to your unborn or nursing baby. To determine if Valdoxan is right for you, explain other medical conditions or allergies you have to your doctor and list any OTC or Rx drugs you take or use, including herbal remedies and dietary or vitamin supplements.

Valdoxan Precautions and Proper Use

You must be patient while taking Valdoxan as it could take up to two weeks for you to notice any improvement in your symptoms. If after that time you are still not showing any progress, talk to your doctor and have your dosage changed. Do not start, stop, or change the dosage of any of your medications without first discussing it with your doctor. During treatment, you may be requested to have regular blood tests to check your liver enzymes.
