Patricia,
Thanks for responding.
I have self prescibed the Mirapex for my depression. My pdoc now freqently writes scripts for me without asking for much if any information about the medication.
I have also gotten sleepy form the Mirapex but that particular side effect seems to have been very transient for me.
What do you take it for?
I have not seen or felt any positive response from it for my depression in fact I have been told that at low doses it can have a depressant effect. I concure! The side effects have gotten so bad that even though I have not had the major effect I get of a med causing my interstitial cystitis to flare up I have decided at this time to discontinue the trial. As far as an anti depressant I had not reached a theraputic dose yet. If and when I feel better I might try it again and then I will be able to know more precisly what the medicine caused and what was just illness. It is imposssible to know that now but it is apparent that a lot of what illness I have now is from the medicine. As I type this I am feeling somewhat nausious and sweating again and my head continues to be all clogged up even as my nasal passages have cleared. I have really had as much as I am willing to take right now. I wish things were different. I am always willing to go through a lot if I am actually able to take a medication for more than a couple of days because of the bladder desease I have.
Thanks again,
irene
