Dear Nat,
Thanks for answering my questions. You have given me hope that adding Mirapex might help me.
> It wasn't until last August that I first started Zyprexa then Risperdal that I began noticing a big change. I added the Mirapex about 9- 10 weeks ago ( I've lost track of time, sorry) and started feeling drastically better. For the first time ever, I feel OK with me. I function really well, I get out of my house a lot. Nonetheless, I still spend a lot of time alone-- but that's me.
I am curious though, why did you switch from Zyprexa to Risperdal? I can't make up my mind as to which of the two I should commit to.
Our cases sound very similar.
> I tried to stop taking Mirapex for 7 days and I could definitly feel a difference. Recently, I did the same with Risperdal ( 5- 6 days) and I could not do it. So, as far as I am concerned I have to take them together.
I hope your new medications "stick". You have every reason to be optimistic. From what I have seen here, Risperdal tends to have a stable and persistent effect, and you are not the first to have successfully added Mirapex to it. All I can say to you is YAY!
> I'm OK with myself.
You're OK with me too. :-)
Thanks again.
- Scott
