The drugs mentioned in the question show other mechanisms of action. Agomelatine is an antidepressant that increases the release of norepinephrine and dopamine, especially in the frontal cortex, but does not affect the extracellular concentration of serotonin. Oropram, on the other hand, is a drug with antidepressant effect, belonging to the group of serotonin reuptake inhibitors. There is no need to maintain a time interval. You can switch to a new drug prescribed by the attending physician overnight.
