> Congratulations!!! I am curious what dose you are at?
1.5mg, three times daily
> What sort of side effects you have experienced as well?
Some pretty bad nausea at first, but that went away fast.
> Also, do you, or anyone know, of long term side effects of dopamine agonists. I am just a little worried about movement disorders but I admittedly do not know much about this stuff just that, I think, dopamine depletion can cause them.
I admittedly don't know much about this... but then I suppose I'm at the point that I don't care. Just as long as it works.
> Also, please do not take offense with this question, do you think that it will last? I recall you saying the same things about provigil and lexapro. Is there anything different about this? I am rooting for you, I am just curious.
>Oh, with Provigil I needed daily 1000mg doses to help me. That ended up giving me horrible headaches. And I still take the Lexapro, and Klonopin, which both help a great deal with the social anxiety. Mirapex, on the other hand, reverses the benzo/SSRI apathy and makes me more human again.
