>HI Nat,
I was encouraged to hear of your succes with Mirapex. Did you ever try amisulpride? If so, how did it work for you? Yes, it was my plan to add Rebox back once I found another med that worked for the anhadonia and social phobia. I liked the energy boost that I got from it. I don't think you can combine rebox and bromo. If I recall correctly (and that is not always the case) you are not supposed to mix ergot derrivatives with the Rebox. Bromo falls into this category but the Requip does not.
Thankyou for your encouraging words. It helps to know that someone who has once stood in your shoes has actually found relief from their situation.
Wishing you continued success,
Kathy
Hi Kathy:
> I can certainly relate to your situation.I wish I could help but unfortunately I am no expert in pharmacology like Andrew.
> Please hang in there! I've suffered from depression and social phobia for 10 years. I, too, drank excessive amounts to medicate only to become an alcoholic.
> Believe me, i know there is medication out there to help you.
> I finally begged my Doctor to let me try Mirapex along with a low dose of risperdal and it has been my success story. Risperdal alone used to do the trick but it sort of pooped out on me. Then I added Mirapex and I can honestly say my life is a lot better. I, too, used to spend a lot of time in bed. I used to sleep a lot, that was my way of escaping esp. after i quit drinking.

> For me personally, I have to take Risperdal and Mirapex together to get the desired effect. I went 10 days without risperdal and got severely depressed. Same with Mirapex.
