> I also had amazing results from ropinirole, in regards to major mood elevation, (Dopamine agonist) but it made me really sick which I put up with for a while because I felt so good. It became too much in the end (vomitorium central). Tirate up very slowly, I did, but I still got quite ill.
>You should have tried adding some amisulpride, sulpiride or perhaps even better, domperidone - a peripheral dopamine antagonist. All of these have the potential of largely eliminating such dopaminergic side effects as nausea and vomiting.
Personally, I did find pramipexole (a non-ergot dopamine agonist like ropinirole) to be highly mood-elevating, but that was very sporadic and unreliable, and after a couple or weeks or so, there were no positive effects at all.
