Could you try to find the correct spellings?valdoxan is correct, though the agent is called agomelatine. it's not available in the US, but in your place, I wouldn't worry about this, I'd pay you $1000 cash if you (or any severe treatment-resistant depression (TRD) patient) responded to it. it's just not what it is made for. in a paper by the Irish psychiatrists association (dunno if that's their name but you know what I mean) it was actually said that this was not something to consider as an alternative for TRD patients, but rather for certain kinds of "regular" depression, which are associated with circadian rhythm disturbance (no idea how that's diagnosed though)..
have you had parnate (or another maoi) + adderall? you could consider applying for an IV ketamine study, though any benefits would only be temporary.. but that way, you would know whether there is *something* that can help you...
