Trying to answer everyone:
I guess Trivastal (piribedil) is not available in the US, I don't know. It can be bought over the internet, but it's not cheap.
Trivastal seems to be the least likely non-ergot dopamine agonist to cause sleep attacks. I think I saw a research abstract where a couple of folks had a sleep attack on it, but they were Parkinsonians to begin with. If not for the sleep attacks, I might have tried Mirapex (pramipexole), but I don't wanna end up crashing my daughter into a car when we're making a ride on the bike.
I don't know why Dave Pearce calls Servier 'secretive'. He speaks of 'secretive, privately-owned Servier, the innovative French drug giant.' He is the kind of guy who does his homework, though.
I think tianeptine goes together well with piribedil (Trivastal). I can't say though that I've noticed any explicit synergy. But I'm taking other meds as well.
Currently, I'm also on 25mg of sertraline (Zoloft), 20-30mg of ziprasidone (Geodon), 15-40mg of Buspar and I have been taking 10mg of selegiline for a while together with some tianeptine when I felt like it and of course a little bit of modafinil (50mg). I take some Ativan (lorazepam) as needed, which has become a lot more often than I'd like recently since I'm suffering from panic attack-like stuff and from general anxiety as well as obsessive fears.
Unfortunately, I have to break the news to you that I think of quitting Trivastal for now, as well as modafinil and selegiline and tianeptine, simply because I don't have much money at this time. And I'm entering a daytime treatment program where they're gonna try and stop me doing my self-medication.
By the way, as far as doses go, keep in mind that I'm always experimentating.
