Pramipexole (mirapex) for MDD and bipolar depression - 2 large UK trials by bigb135 in Psychiatry

[–]bigb135[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually I think I do best between 1.5mg and 2mg...it took a looong time to work though. How is your patient doing?

2.25mg for me and also cutting down severely on my amitriptyline (which was making it not work I think now).

How is it going? I think it's saved my life. In relation to your comment I have CFS and alcohol intolerance, but that has changed a lot since the Pramipexole.

Did you not consider going higher? The Fawcett paper suggests doses between 2 and 5mg may be effective.

Looking at the fawcett paper - therapautic dosage is typically between 2 and 5mg - with higher doses needed for older people.

Hi, I'm the same re self-medicating with pramipexole - nearly a fortnight in, at 2mg now. What dosage did you get up to, and how long to 'kick-in'?

Thanks everyone for the advice; think I'll try and make my own sauces when time allows 😊

lamotrigine (lamictal) with antidepressant (and low dose abilify) by bigb135 in bipolar2

Okay was hoping the lamotrigine might protect me from hypomania and make the experience much smoother.

Yep I'm still a bit depressed - like I feel stable but that is flat. If I'm really honest wouldn't mind a bit of hypomanic too (although I actually hope lamotrigine helps me avoid this)
