Hey Mishal, et. al.

I've been on fellow dopamine agonist Mirapex for 3 weeks now. .75mg/day for the first 2 weeks, then up to 1.5mg/day a few days ago.

Again, it took about 4 days to kick in, then had tremendous improvement through weeks 1 and 2. Then about 5 days ago I dumbly decided to stop taking my concurrent cholinergic cocktail because one of the supplements was giving me a slight headache (Alpha-GPC, Huperzine-A, and Acetyl-L-Carnitine).

Within a day I started regressing (slowed thinking, memory loss, decreased energy, and those sleep attacks). Now I'm not sure whether the sleep attacks were caused by the Mirapex or by acetylcholine deficits resulting from stopping the cocktail. But the problems began to resolve themselves after restarting the cholinergic cocktail.

Now I feel like I'm at a plateau with the Mirapex. The past few days, I've upped the dosage to 1.5mg/day, with no discernible effects yet.

How long did it take you to feel the effects of the increase in dosage of your trivastal? I guess I'm a little puzzled because I expected dopamine agonists to have faster onset of action than they seem to do for me. Not instantaneous like adderall/ritalin, but at least something noticeable within a day or two.
