I should see if Requip is available in Canada. I really don't need something that is going to be sedating.
Thanks for you information on dosages.

> Dopamine agonists have been studied in only a few trials for depression. Both Mirapex and Requip have shown definite effects.
> I haven't been on Mirapex, but have been on Requip(ropinirole) for 2 months with excellent results as add on therapy to Cymbalta and Lamictal. I have had absolutely no sleepiness or fatigue. In fact, it has been activating and motivating, which is why I tried it in the first place. But it also helps my mood per se.
> The studies showed that about 1.5 mg was the mean dose in one and about 2.5 mg in the other. I had effects from 1.5 mg, but went up to 3 mg gradually to see if it maxed out further, and I think it was best at this dose.
> There was poop out reported, but none so far with me.
