I also switch back and forth every two weeks (to avoid tolerance) between one gram of chloral hydrate and 200mg of Tuinal for sleep.Can you tell me more about the use of Mirapex and/or Amantadine for depression? Did you use them alone or as augmentors? What do you mean by sleep attacks? Is it common for someone to develop sleep attacks after being on Mirapex?
I'm a musician and have been without creativitiy and motivation to play, perform, compose for too long. I don't even listen to the wonderful symphonies I did before this darkness of depression hit 13 years ago. ANy info would be greatly appreciated - because I'd like to talk to my doc next week about it.
Much thanks!!!
Jerry
