I am currently taking:

Cymbalta 60mg
Lamictal 150mg
memantine 20mg
Abilify 10mg

I experienced an antidepressant response to memantine during my second week of treatment. It lasted for a few days and then faded. The response was pretty comprehensive in scope, although limited in magnitude. Energy, motivation, concentration, and mood were all improved. None of that improvement remains, however, I continue taking it in the hopes that it might act as an augmentor to Cymbalta by modulating neuroplasticity.

I'm sorry your treatment with Mirapex didn't provide you with the results you were looking for. To tell you the truth, I haven't seen a single person continue with it beyond a few months.

Perhaps you could keep a mood chart. I have one on my website you can use. Let's see if this URL works:

Let me know if there are any other questions I can answer for you. I think memantine is worth a try. That I responded to it at all is amazing.
