Mirapex seems to work!

After many, many, many med trials over many years, I've been on Mirapex for a couple of months plus Prozac. Prozac pooped out before, but the Mirapex really seems to help with my energy and possibly synergistically with the Prozac.

The jury is still out because I've been disapointed before, but so far I've been very impressed!

> Don't even think about Ziprasidone if it's sleep you want. I tried to switch from Zyprexa and gave it several months before giving up because I couldn't sleep anymore. Others have also written that it was too activating for them and caused manic episodes or increased anxiety.

I found a chart that the two have equivalent D2 agonist action, but no mention of D3. Also, is amisulpride supposed to help sleep?
