A little while back, i asked you about Mirapex, with the idea that it could be a good thing for my 23yr old son who is depressed, ADD and possibly psychotic (no diagnosis, but pdoc says his thought patterns are not normal) You gave me some helpful links and asked me to let you know how it went with the doc. He said he used it for a while for augmenting some various meds, but stopped prescribing it because everyone he put on it got extremely agitated. He did, however, say he may have acted too quickly in taking his patients off it and would recondsider it in the future. Right now, my son wants to wash out completely to see how he feels on no meds at all, and although we dont think this is best for him, we really cant force him - we can only support him in getting well. Im sorry, this is turning into a rambling post, but i wanted to let you know the info you gave me helped me talk to the pdoc and also gave the pdoc a chance to reconsider a med that might be valuable to some of his patients. Thanks so much and best of luck to you. Melodie
