ChrisK,
Thanks for your reply. Could you please give me some more info about Mirapex (e.g., generic name) as I'd like to see if it's available in South Africa. Also, Why are you taking the Zyprexa? Would it not counter any dopaminergic effects from the Mirapex?

Going on the Dopamine theories I started Mirapex 3 months ago and it has been great. I have many of my old emotions back and can function on a daily basis. I would say that it is definitely worth looking into. I take it in addition to Nortriptyline and Zyprexa.
