The study funded by the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) was testing whether a drug commonly used for Parkinson’s disease could help with treatment-resistant depression. Unlike antidepressants, which target serotonin, pramipexole mimics dopamine, which influences the energy with which people pursue goals. “The day after I started taking the drug I felt so much better,” Waite says. “I had loads more energy and stopped sleeping during the day. My sleep quality improved drastically as well as my overall mood.” He continued to take pramipexole after the trial concluded. A year ago, he stopped taking the drug, or any other antidepressants. It is the longest he has been off medication since he was 19. Now 31, Waite has more energy, his personal life has improved and he has even started a new job with a mental health research company, inspired by his positive experience on the PAX-D trial.
