Hi
Has anyone heard of or taken Trivastal (Piribedil)? It is a Dopamine Agonist made by Servier France (the makers of the infamous Amineptine). It has D2/D3 receptor action, but more interestingly it has 'noradrenergic properties'.
I'm currently taking 4.5mg of Mirapex (along with lamictal, klonopin, seroquel and sulpiride) with pretty good results, it has really helped with my anhedonia and the depression side of things. But the noradrenergic properties of Trivastal really interests me, and I'm considering a trial run swap with the Mirapex. Could possibly help with the anxiety aspect?
Any thoughts anyone may have let us know!
Cheers
Gary

Guess Not.
The alerting effect of Noradrenaline, can relieve anticipitory anxiety in that it tends to bring the attention into the present.However you might need to research the extent to its effect cause too much can make on jittery.
Good LuckLinkadge

Hi Jodeye
Thanks for the link - I'd actually just read that same article just before I read your post!
I really want someone who has had any experiences with Trivastal, but being an obscure French drug there probably won't be anyone who has!
Going to order some anyway, may as well have a go?!
Cheers
Gary

did you have any luck obtaining trivastal? i used to take it when i was in thailand for four months and it was great compared to mirapex which i am on now...mirapex just makes me light headed and spacey.

Thanks!

I will likely be evaluating Piribedil soon myself, so if you haven't found anything yourself yet...
