Bob, I did confuse the two meds. My apologies. Seems the search for the dopamine piece to depression and other conditions is an arduous, frustrating one. I've considered mirapex myself; currently it's off my short list....but I'm still interested. I suppose requip (sp?) would be similar? Best to you uncovering the trigger for those somatic symptoms and finding an equivalent treatment--thanks for the response.

I tapered off the Mirapex to see if it was the source of some of the somatic symptoms, but the jury is still out on that. I don't have anything on board right now that has similar benefits to the Mirapex. Wish I did.
