> First I would definitely consider Mirapex as an augmenting med rather than a stand alone. It was really developed for people with Parkinson's but was found to have good AD effects in these patients. It really hasn't been recognized widely as an AD med. (I had to tell my pdoc about it and give him the studies before he was willing to try it. Since then he has had other patients use it successfully.)

I'm glad Mirapex is working for you. I have anhedonia, I've taken very many antidepressants, none of which really touch the anhedonia. I asked my pdoc about Mirapex a few weeks ago and he wasn't too keen. But I'm not going to give up that easily! So I was wondering if you would let me know which studies convinced your pdoc to let you try Mirapex?Jenna
