Of course , it could also be simply the course of your depression as it waits to adjust to the MIrapex? So hard to know.


I realize you have been trudging through, hoping to find something to help you. You have been doing this for a long time now. You so deserve a break from this! I hope you will get a break soon.
Thanks WC.

I think it's just the course of my depression... low and lower.

I don't think the Mirapex has started working yet. I just hit 1mg and my pdoc wants me to get to 2mg and wait there for a few weeks to see how it goes. I'll get to 2mg late next week.

No side effects so far and I'm not sleepy, which is good. No nausea too.

I'm literally hanging on, going day to day, and hoping to find something that works.

All I want to do is get to my baseline. I've had 2 baseline days during the last 2 years and it would be great to maybe see a few baseline days in a month or possibly a week.

Nice to be among people that get it.
