There are scattered cases in medical literature where mirapex helped in depression. Never actually witnessed it myself, either here or anywhere else.

> We don't have a whole lot of options if we want to target dopamine. Stimulants, dlpa, tyrosine, B's, rhodiola, a few other herbs. At the right dose, some of the antipsychotics, for example low dose abilify or low dose amisulpride. Sometimes it works backwards from the way we think, in which an antipsychotic improved dopamine symptoms instead of making them worse. But if dopamine is suspect, they all need to be tried singularly and in combinations with each other. To rule them in or rule them out. No other way. Armchair theory does not work.

> Here's another angle to think about. What if your dopamine is fine, and your dopamine circuits are fine? What if, instead, the problem is that there is some other substance, molecule, that attaches itself to the dopamine receptor....so your own dopamine is crowded out by competition? Or what if some other substance attaches itself to the dopamine itself, so that it cannot land and dock at its intended site?

> There's more to this stuff than the simple psychiatric theory stuff we tend to get bogged down in.Thank you bleuberry. It is good to get more info on mirapex before I try it. My circuitry is so easily screwed up and becomes even worse than it already is. It is so true that everything is so complicated and is even harder to figure out, and we are all different. One process can screw up another. Enzymes that make the chemicals, receptors, transmission, etc. It will be amazing if science ever gets it all figured out.
