Cyclelops, question for you... I used to take Mirapex for fibromyalgia but then had to discontinue it due to worsening of some of my 'dysautonomic' symptoms. Specifically, nasal congestion and flushing.

Mirapex is a dopamine agonist. Does dopamine directly affect the autonomic nervous system? The reason I wonder is that you mentioned the stomach drugs as being dopamine supressors. Just wondering if dopamine-targeted drugs may be a bad idea for me since my autonomic nervous system is 'out of whack'.
