However, a few people on PB reported experiencing substantial improvements in depression with it. Mirapex (pramepexole) and Requip (ropinerole), when they do help, they usually poop out very quickly - a week or two.
I try to limit the number of drugs that I reject as treatment candidates. Perhaps you will find a role for DA receptor agonists in your treatment regime.
During a conversation I had last night, I suggested that asenapine (Saphris) would be worth a try for depression or anxiety. I have not kept up with the most recent of drug approvals. However, I found that asenapine has energizing and antidepressant properties. I found it to be "clean", and had no side effects that I was aware of. The improvement in my condition was temporary, but asenapine opened up a new world of lasting functionality for someone who has schizoaffective disorder - bipolar type.

Some see things as they are and ask why.
I dream of things that never were and ask why not.The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.
