I still take 100 mg of Nortriptyline and 7.5 mg of Zyprexa each day in addition to 4-6 mg/day of Mirapex.
Try these sites to learn a little more about Mirapex as an AD.

http://www.psycom.net/depression.central.resistant.html
The info on the second page is about half way down but there is a lot of good info on the whole page.
I'm not as well versed as others here as far as how things work, I just know what worked for me and even though the Zyprexa and Mirapex might seem to contradict each other in some sense the combo has worked out for me.
My father also suffered from depression and he spent most of his life taking Amitriptyline and Valium. For whatever reasons the TCA's have worked in my family while the SSRI's did not.
Bes of luck to you. There is hope,
Chris
