> Okay, the Prozac isn't doing anything for me. The Desipramine has helped a tiny bit. Is there any point to keep on talking the Prozac? I've tried everything and nothing helps. Should I just resign myself to life filled with depression? I don't think I can do that.

Has your doc considered augmentation for the Prozac i.e., Lithium, or thyroid 3, and many others may help. Also, I think you will get a good response with the Mirapex and it is relatively rapid, for me i felt it working at about 2 wks. I can't remember my dosage however..sorry. It may make you a little drowsy at first, but that goes away and for me it worked well as an anti-depressant...so think positive about the Mirapex ( i know it's easier said then done ) I would stick with the Prozac for at least another week, ask your doc about augmentation strategies. Also, do you take any Vits/Mins? I think they help me a lot. Hang in there and best wishes-I know you've been hurting for a long time..I feel bad for you. :(Tyler
