Nortriptyline is not much of a 5HT2C-antagonist as far as I know - but how much do I really know? It is a moderate 5HT2A-antagonist. Its mother drug, amitriptyline, is a 5HT2C-inverse agonist, which comes down to being a 5HT2C-antagonist if I've understood correctly.
I've never been quite attracted to Mirapex because of the reports of compulsive gambling and hypersexuality, as well as the nasty side-effect of sleep attacks in the middle of activity (riding a bike or driving a car).
For reducing prolactin, you could also try piribedil=Trivastal, Serviers subtle and possibly fun D2-agonist. Or lisuride, LSD's non-hallucinogenic cousin - a drug currently being debated on this forum which may have anxiolytic and antidepressant properties in its own right..
Ritalin, Adderall: watch your blood pressure.
Personally I would add at least a bit of an SSRI to counter constipation, but you may not suffer from that side-effect at all.
Current meds: 10mg melitracene + 0.5mg flupentixol; sertraline 100mg; amitriptyline 25mg; gabapentin (Neurontin) 300mg; melatonin 0.3mg. PRN: diazepam (Valium) 2.5-5mg.
