Re: I am afraid and feel as though I am losing control.


Joe,

You wrote:  it's better to boost the Sinemet intake than to
add other drugs with their inevitable side effects.

>From one non-MD to another:  instead of increasing Sinemet,
I'd suggest introducing some Mirapex and maintaining or
reducing the Sinemet. My reasoning is based on CORRIGAN et
al [PMID 10812530] who report that pramipexole is an
effective anti-depressant, on par with fluoxetine [Prozac],
along with the generally successful use of Mirapex together
with Sinemet.

What's your reaction to that?
