OK, in fairness, agomelatine stands out among the dreadful crowd of psych drugs by being relatively humane (if a fraction ineffectual) and at least addressing sleep and drive by an interesting mechanism.
It's no accident that psych drugs are so dysphoric.
>If we're going to develope drugs based on the neurotransmitter theory than develope drugs that restore the proper balance of all the neurotransmitters. The current ssris drive down dopamine and lower sex hormones. That is not what an ad should be doing. Develope drugs to augment ssris so dopamine is restored and sex drive left intact.
