[QUOTE="YoungSpartan, post: 21970, member: 3327"] <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Dammit Janet</div><div class="ubbcode-body">I have no addiction problems and the mirapex would be in extremely low doses for fibro pain but I am still worried because of the fact that it could destabilize the bipolar. Sigh...always a trade off somewhere. </div></div> I see you are on Lamactil in your sig which would indicate to me, if prescribed effectively, that you are a primarily depressive bipolar II patient. If such is correct, it is unlikely that you would have too much trouble from a low dosage of Requip when it comes to mood instability due to bipolar, mirapex I don't know about but if the act similarly... If you do suffer from mania from time to time and your only mood stabilizer is lamactil, I'd be very careful of taking either requip or mirapex because lamactil is not very effective for managing the manic side of bipolar but rather the depressive side, which could result in mainly manic-side mood instability due to the dopamine effects. then again im no psychiatrist.
