In reply to Mirapex - Chris K, Cam, Anyone?, posted by Greg on February 14, 2001, at 17:32:06
Greg - We don't have Mirapex here (I don't think), but if it is a dopamine agonist (or even increases dopamine) it may interact with your Zyprexa causing it to work less effectively. This is only an educated guess, though.
Still trying to pick up your mood? If so, Provogil (modafinil) may be good for you. It is a stimulant, but is supposed to be less habit forming than Ritalin or the amphetamines. I think that it works via the GABA and glutamate system, more so than the dopamine system. I don't know it's drug interactions, though. I'll do some more checking. Again, this isn't a drug used in Canada, so I have no clinical experience with it. I have seen posts on this site about it. You may want to search them.
They are using it in kids with ADHD with few side effects. You, being the kid that you are, it may be an appropriate drug for you. Ask your doc and others on this site.
Sorry that I am not much help on this one, but hey, ya git what ya pays for (actually, the lasagne was so good, I do believe I owe you).
Hang in there dude and give the family a big hug from us - Cam
