I had some minor OEVs (tracers, flanging, loss of depth perception) and pretty severe CEVs (LSD-like: intricate geometric patterns and fractals, random detailed images of real-life things thrown together in some weird fashion that almost looked like cubist art) when I experimented one time taking 6mg of Mirapex all at once (and the experience was actually not at all unpleasant -- I wonder how long it'll take for the candy-kids of the world to figure out about Mirapex and claim it as their own? lol). The only other med I was on at the time was Klonopin. If the "C" in your post stands for coke, though, then that's surely what brought on the hallucinations for you. What was the highest dose you were on?
As I mentioned, I may want to try Mirapex again, now that I'm on Dexedrine Spansules -- maybe they'll ward off the sleep attacks. But I'm a bit worried that the Mirapex may worsen my OCD symptoms, which are under control entirely now with Ultram. Perhaps my fear of this is unfounded, but after reading and posting the article on here the other day that links Mirapex to compulsive gambling, I don't know if I should be taking any chances at this point.
Besides, as great a med as it is, I feel I'm 100% "normal", whatever that is, on my current med cocktail -- so I probably shouldn't mess with it. *But*, lol, I feel that with a dopamine agonist there's potential for me to maybe feel even *more* than 100% normal. Anything that may increase my confidence and motivation even further, I'm all for. So we'll see, I guess.
