I have since tried the supplement NADH, which is supposed to raise dopamine levels, and after 2 weeks, got a dramatic anti-depressant effect. But it also triggered hypomania (which most anti-depressants do to me). But the important point for those of you who are super-sensitive to side effects, NADH has virtually no side effects. But you’d better be on a good mood stabilizer, if you’re prone to go manic on anti-depressants. (Mirapex was very unique for me, in that it also acted as a mood stabilizer).

(Still, Mirapex was probably the best drug overall, but I can’t bear the thought of being a “television-vegetable” for 2-3 months, while I try to tolerate the sedation).
