I was taking Zyprexa for about two years before I started on Mirapex around the first of this year. I did my research and both my pdoc and I thought there was some hope with Mirapex even though we both thought that the Z and M may cancel each other out and end up with nothing.
The good news is that they have complimented each other beautifully. I have had great success with both. The Zyprexa got rid of ruminating thoughts and GAD problems. In the mean time Mirapex has lifted a good part of my anhedonia problems.
I did go through the whole lot of stimulants before trying Mirapex (Wellbutrin, Adderall, Ritalin, etc.) I only stumbled upon Mirapex while researching Selegiline as an option. I thought Mirapex stood a better chance and we agreed to give it a trial. It's now three months later and I almost have a life again.
In short I haven't had any problem combining Mirapex with Zyprexa.

P.S. I also take Nortriptyline as my main AD and it still works fine.
