Valdoxan and RLS: anyone here have experience with this antidepressant

My Dr is talking about me trying Valdoxan (Agomelatine) for depression. Apparently it works on the melatonin pathway not the serotonin pathways and so he says it shouldn’t aggravate restless legs.

Has anyone here tried it before and if so what was your experience with it.

I know some people say Melatonin aggravates their legs.

Much appreciated.

An article in my research say it is OK. Some say not. Only way to know is to try it.
