The nature of dopaminergic meds?

Posted by Bob on April 5, 2011, at 20:18:48

I've been thinking about dopaminergic drugs lately and how they might affect or treat depressive disorders. There is nothing quite like a shot of Mirapex to get me off my *ss and doing things - even to experience a deep joy in things like I haven't felt in years. Then it quickly fades away and turns into angry, irritable depression. Then the attacks of fatigue and sleepiness set in.
What I wonder is how other medicines with dopaminergic action, such as MAOIs or the yet to be seen dopamine reuptake inhibitor drugs might act differently? I mean, is there a difference between the dopaminergic effects of something like Parnate vs. a dopamine agonist such as Mirapex? Wouldn't these drugs be just as likely to cause irritability, sudden sleepiness and the like?
