This is a new type of anti-depressant meds. Came to Australia in 2010. I haven't heard of it so did some reading:

Someone commented in the above link that their doc said over the counter melatonin is just as effective, cheaper and gentler on the liver. One person's comment.

What did your doc say about them, side effects etc.?
