I am on my 2nd week of Mirapex and so far it has been promising. I went into my pdoc last week armed with a lot of info about Mirapex and he agreed to prescribe it even though he hasn't done it for another patient yet.
So far my attitude is better and I'm hoping that it gets better from now on. My only concern is that I occasionally slip into a very bad depression that only seems to last for 10 minutes. I don't understand that part but I can get through 10 minutes pretty easily if I know that it will stop soon.
The only drawback so far is that it has a short half life and needs to be taken 3 time per day. I'm not the best at keeping track of my med schedule so I sometimes forget if I took my Mirapex.
BTW, I also take Nortriptyline, Wellbutrin and Zyprexa. So far the Zyprexa has not interfered with the Mirapex.
Best of luck if you try it,
Chris

> Has anyone had luck with mirapex? I was wondering if it might be an option for myself since I do respond well to Parnate, unfortunatly it only works for 3 months. Tried Moclobemide without any help. Tried numerous things. There really is an infinite quantity of options when you consider combo's and dosages. I'm lost in this wilderness of depression and treatment.
