> As its a dopamine agonist, the same adaptation period as with other dopamine agonists can be expected, so it would take a few weeks to start fully working. It should also be slowly titrated up or the adaptation wont be fun.
My impression of DA (D2, D3) agonists is that they don't make very good antidepressants, precisely because of the brain adaptations that occur while taking them. People seem to feel better almost immediately. However, diminishing returns are then seen with continued treatment. Again, this is just a personal observation.
