> This question is for Ame Sans Vie. Can you tell me what dose of Mirapex you recommend. Since I believe this drug is for those with Parkinson and I assume a lower dosage is more appropriate in the case of depression.
Hi Babak,Actually, there was one study I read in which Prozac, Mirapex, and placebo were tested for depression. While there was more nausea approaching the upper dosage limits (5mg), it also mentioned a more pronounced antidepressant effect than those at the 1mg dose. And for the record, I take 4.5mg (1.5 three times daily) and the nausea went away within a week.
I'll post that study when I come across it again.
