> My doc wanted to try dopamine therapy for my depression, same type as you describe;, but would not use L-dopa, sinemet or comtan for that reason. We tried requip (eh), deprenyl (eh), pergolide (ugh!) parlodel (no appreciable effect), and abilify (works absolute wonders for me.)

>Appreciate the info--seems like l-dopa may be a bad idea. Can I ask how long it took abilify to be helpful to you? I wimped out after just a week or less, because of the side-effects--it made me feel slow, almost stoned. But I've heard that can go away, so I was curious about others' experiences.
Best,
