> Mirapex is a dopamine agonist that is most often used for Parkinson's Disease. But, it has been shown in two studies to have antidepressant properties in non-Parkinson's patients.
> First, the background: I have treatment-resistant depression with painful flashbacks and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder.
> It started working for me in a little less than a week (possibly because I got up to 6 mg per day in two days' time)! I found out that it needs to be taken about every 5 hours, otherwise I relapse. I have no side-effects from it (thank God).
> Studies on Medline:I am glad it is working for you. I took around 0.5 mg 3 times a day for 10 days and it made me nauseated. I am also not sure if I felt any difference. Anyway I will try it again later with a larger dosage.
