Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.
I read your query and understand your concerns.
Although it is difficult to answer this question but I feel agomelatine is one of the safest antidepressants for treatment of depression. The another medicine which comes to this category is tyneptine.
Both of these antidepressants are atypical and have very low side effect profile.
I hope this helps you.
If you have more questions feel free to write back to me.
Thanks and regards.
