Bev - I know someone who had a somewhat similar experience and began taking
Ritalin as prescribed by a neuro.  This really seemed to help a lot, plus he
mentioned that he felt like he could think again.  Not a doc myself, so
can't vouch in any way for this, just passing on an anecdote.  Don't know if
others on the list have tried Ritalin???  Meg

I too stopped Mirapex because of some compulsive behaviors and my
neurologist refuses to give me Requip. I had dbs brain surgery in Dec 2005.
After stopping the mirapex i went into a deep depression which does not seem
responsive to antidepressents. My energy is also extremely low. Obsessive
behaviors now? Nope.. I am lucky to get out of bed every day. Has anyone had
this experience and any suggestions? I have a doctor's app Jan 16th and hope
to have my own suggestions.

Thanks...for sharing.
