Under what circumstances is agomelatine prescribed rather than conventional ssri antidepressant drugs?

Only if others fail: I had to research this question as agomelatine is not approved in the United States. It appears that the data for this medicine is all over the place. There is some question how effective it truly is. It appears it is mainly prescribed in individuals who have failed or cannot take other anti-depressants. It does work differently from ssris.
