Hi Jerry,> I just started Mirapex (.125mg at night). I was prescribed it for restless legs - but my pdoc hoped it would help with my anhedonia/motivation/etc. It's only been 3 days and I'm not sure I notice anything. I'm wondering if - from your experience - it takes a couple weeks to kick in or....?
Give it some time. I noticed a little improvement relatively quickly. But it seems to have increased somewhat with time. And it will give you a chance to see if any initial side effects go away.
> I've also notices more "brain zaps" since taking it - yo uknow those zaps you get when you go off an SSRI? same thing.
No brain zaps. Your use of the work "more" suggests you were having them beforehand? Are you coming off an SSRI or Effexor?
> Anyway, ar eyou taking yoru Mirapex during the day? Once daily?
Once in the morning.
Good luck. I hope it is helpful for you. Give us an update.Emme
