> Greg - We don't have Mirapex here (I don't think), but if it is a dopamine agonist (or even increases dopamine) it may interact with your Zyprexa causing it to work less effectively. This is only an educated guess, though.
Cam,My pdoc and I had a conversation about Mirapex and how it may not work with Zyprexa. I wanted to try Mirapex so he gave me script with orders that if it caused any problems I would stop the Mirapex.
To make it short - Mirapex has worked great, even in combination with Zyprexa. I can't explain why but then again neither can most doctors. All I know is that these two meds have done more for me than any thing else I have tried over the years. I can feel emotions again and that was one of my biggest problems with just an AD.
Right now I'm taking 3 mg/day of Mirapex and 7.5 mg of Zyprexa. I can only tell you how I feel but the combo for me has been nothing but good.
