Mirapex is Pramipexole and is chiefly prescribed for Parkinson's disease. There have been studies showing that it has antidepressant effects as well. I thought that the Zyprexa might cancel out the benefits of Mirapex but they seem to work well together for me. I take the Zyprexa for obsessive ruminating thoughts that led to suicide attempts. Try these links for Mirapex info:
