Ash,
From what I've just read, there probably isn't a connection between your depression and RLS, therefore having RLS does not make you more or less likely to find an antidepressant response with Mirapex. However, since Mirapex is one of the preferred treatments for RLS, you may want to try out Mirapex just on the chance that it would help your depression too. The dosage of Mirapex for RLS is usually .125mgs, two or three times a day. The dosage of Mirapex for depression is much higher. Usually between .75mgs to 2mgs per day divided into 2 or 3 doses. You may find some of the info. on the following RLS message board useful:
