> Yeah. They help, but not much. I'm currently thinking about adding a direct dopamine agonist, it seems to help some people with residual anhedonia/apathy.

My pdoc did some clinical research with one of those a few years ago and wasn't impressed. Then again he's generally not impressed by *anything*. < g > Mirapex seems to have a good (though brief) record as an antidepressant, and it would be my first choice if I were going to try a direct DA agonist.

It'd have to be *very* precise. Are there any OTC ones like that? (Yes, I've thought about it.)

A compounding pharmacy could do it, but there aren't many of those. I'm not sure if a regular pharmacy could do it. Does anybody know?
