I am already experiencing diminishing returns. Of course, I'm hoping that it is a temporary worsening.

If for some reason you need to discontinue agomelatine, but would still like the sleep-enhancing effects of a melatonin M1/M2 agonist, you could opt for ramelteon (Rozerem). Of course, you may not glean an antidepressant effect from it.
Thanks for taking the time to respond. Very useful info.
Be well.
