If Valdoxan (agomelatine) is working well for you then that is a good argument for staying on it, especially as it seems to have no interactions with HIV meds which I'm guessing is why it was chosen.
However, its cost is likely to remain high as it was approved by the TGA about 10 years ago yet still hasn't been added to the PBS. This suggests it probably won't be anytime soon, mostly, I suspect, because it it hasn't been shown to be superior to other, cheaper ADs.
