Brief Answer: a and meditation are best alternatives for drugs Detailed Answer: Hi XXXXXXX Agodep (agomelatin) is an anti depressant, which is relatively safe drug with less number of side effects compared with peers. Major side effects include gas formation, drowsiness and sweating. Olanex (olanzapine) is an anti psychotic drug with some side effects like dyskinesias (abnormal movements of limbs without reason), sedation, lethargy, weight gain and dry mouth. The side effects need not occur in every individual. Both the drugs will at least take 2-2 1/2 months for total result. they are generally used for depression with suicidal thoughts and work poorly for anxiety. Yoga and meditation are best alternatives for drugs as you are still young. you may also use them simultaneously for effective outcome. you can tell your problem to the yoga teacher and he will suggest you the appropriate XXXXXXX for you. Hope this helps you. All the best.
