I have just finished a two week trial with the D2/D3 agonist Mirapex, the last week of the trial I did not take any other medications besides reboxetine. As an antidepressant and anxiolytic, Mirapex seemed to have little or no effectiveness for me. Taking only the Mirapex, I became quite depressed and socially anxious. My energy was good, but this was probably maintained by the reboxetine. For my condition at least, Mirapex appears to be very much inferior to the D2/D3 presynaptic antagonist amisulpride. I have dysthymia with social anxiety. It is possible that this trial was too short to give Mirapex a chance to work, though it is normally effective within a week. Also it is possible that my dosage was too small. I was taking what limited studies indicate is the normal amount.
