I've been on all the stimulations and mirapex and no, they aren't similar... mirapex had a very very mild antidepressant feel to it... nothing like a stimulant...

mirapex isnt really anything like a stimulant. all mirapex did for me was make me more sensitive to sexual stimulation for about a month, and then it had a horrible affect on my brain. it made pretty much unable to feel pleasure.

There is one person on the board currently who reports having success with Mirapex to treat depression. I forget who, though. However, Mirapex almost never provides a long-term robust antidepressant response as far as I can tell. It is reasonable to try it, though. Just be careful of "sleep-attacks" as a side effect.

Mirapex is a dopamine agoinist.
