You mentioned Pramipexole but I think that is a bad choice.

It looks good on paper. Theoretically it should be a good dopaminergic substance. And it is. Just not for mood.

My doctor says Ritalin is her most prescribed medication because it helps so many people with so many different symptoms. There is no way anyone could say that about Pramipexole.

I've followed a few people who tried Pramipexole and none of them did well with it. Side effects are harsh, risks are high, and benefits low.

What I have concluded is that just because something is "dopaminergic" really doesn't mean that much. The important thing is the mechanism of how dopamine is manipulated not the dopamine itself. But the mechanism orchestrating it.
