I was told (like most others) to titrate up to my current dose slowly. As far as I have read this is due to the rep that Mirapex has for creating nausea problems. I did ignore this advice and was at my current dose in three days. I didn't have any problems but I rarely do. I seem to be very med resistant. The only med that really knocked me around was when I tried Risperdal for a little while. I really felt like a zombie and completely out of touch with things.
I reacted to the Mirapex in about a week or slightly less. So far (about 4 months) it has continued to relieve my anhedonia. I almost have a normal range of emotions back.
I do take it with Nortriptyline (my main AD) and Geodon (ruminating thoughts) without a problem. It seems that with my current meds I have been able to address the main symptoms of my depression which has been going on for about 20 years.
Hope this helps a little,
Chris
