I was six months into taking mirapexin when it triggered a psychosis. I subsequently got lost and forgot to take the drug and as i started to come down from that state i realised what happened to me. Within a few days i came off it cold turkey. Not suggesting anyone do the same but i would rather have died than get crazier. I felt awful for a long time and it took quite some time for the full effects to wear off. The quickest aid to detox is lots of water and sleep if possible. Stay home and don't get over-stimulated. I had to re-learn lots - especially procedural knowledge, like how to tie my shoe laces, and cook, or find my way round. Eventually i recovered fully, although docs told my kids, "you'll never get your mother back".
