> I just got a response back. They say they don't have Mirapex. There is no UK equivelent. But if they do indeed have Requip (ropinirole), it may have similar a antidepressant action as Mirapex. Both are striatum D2 receptor agonists (non ergot).
Well done, AndrewB! I guess I should be more thorough and ask first before posting what I read on Usenet...At any rate, Requip is available, and has a similar action to Mirapex. Interestingly, both drugs now have a warning of somnolence (which apparently happens to a large percentage of users) - that is odd considering they are dopamine agonists. You'd think they'd be energizing. I may yet try amisulpride.
