SSRI + dopamine agonist?

Posted by Eddie Sylvano on February 11, 2003, at 11:56:41

Has anyone tried adding a dopamine agonist to an SSRI regimen? I'm back on an SSRI again (after a year-long break), and am hoping to do something about anhedonia. In the past, SSRIs elevated my mood but didn't do much for my capacity to experience pleasure. From what I've gathered, serotonin enhancing drugs also have a tendancy to reduce dopamine levels, so I'm hoping a DA agonist might help obtain a better balance. Am I off base here?
