Thanks fern, blue, sometimes, WC, and Christina.
I'll tell my pdoc about this. I'll also mention this to my wife, although she's not going to like hearing about this.
My pdoc says she's not quite convinced the Mirapex alone is to blame for my current problems. She says she can see physically that I'm depressed and that I come across as mixed. She says I'm more likely in a mixed episode that started around the same time I changed the Mirapex dose. This is why, she says, she's trying to treat the sleep first instead of lowering or stopping the Mirapex right away.
So far, I feel ok. I can easily tell that these things I'm seeing and hearing are not real which is why I'm not worried yet. It's really obvious to me that this isn't real.
My pdoc is in tomorrow so I'll see what she says then.
Thanks everyone for your help and advice!
