Hi all:
Been back in the black box again for a few months, been getting worse and worse...have a good pdoc for 9 years now, had ETC, been on too many drugs to count, am on a number of meds now (nuvigil, abilify, synthroid, klonopin, trazodone, prazosin) and just off lamictal (rash), tried carbitrol (suicidal thoughts and dreams), and NOW have added mirapex...been on it for about 10 days, currently at a total of .625 mg/day divided in 3 doses. Tomorrow will go up to .75. Some improvement, though not as much as I would hope for. Wondering if I need to wait, if I need more Mirapex...also considering TMS but its so expensive and if the mirapex is going to work, hoping I won't have to go TMS route.
So anyone on Mirapex now, anyone been on it for a while or know how long it takes to kick in, or what recommended dosage is? Been looking all over internet for answers but hard to find as it is still off label for treatment resistant depression.
Any thoughts would be very much appreciated (especially in the positive range). Really.
Thanks.
