Besides the buprenorphine and cabergoline, is there anything else that you take? Nardil? How did you get your doctor to go along with these drugs?
I would consider adding a DA agonist to Parnate. I had previously tried bromocriptine. It worked for about 3 days and then quit. Mirapex and Requip seem like obvious choices, however, I never considered cabergoline because I haven't seen it mentioned before for treating depression.
What are the prominent features of your depression? Mine is bipolar and very anergic and anhedonic. I also suffer from severe impairments of concentration and memory.
I guess I won't know to what degree cabergoline is suited to my case unless I try it. Is there anything on the Internet I can bring in to show my doctor regarding cabergoline?
Thanks.
