Emme--
Can I ask you a few questions? Sorry I don't have an answer to the water retention query.
I am a rapid cycling bipolar II. I take 750mg of Depakote and .25mg of Risperdal. The Depakote slows the cycles, and the Risperdal helps with agitation, and used to help with sleep. Unfortunately, I am completely apathetic--not caring about anything--no feelings at all (especially not pleasurable!) I would give ANYTHING to have feelings again.
Do you find that the Mirapex is causing you any sleep problems?
What is your diagnosis if you don't mind me asking?
Have you heard anything about it inducing or exacerbating rapid cycling or causing switches into mania?
I'm curious, and I haven't gotten a response on any of the older threads. Sorry to butt in!
Thanks for any info!
Take care,
Katy
