Default mirapex and psychosis

Hi, my husband has Parkinsons, was diagnosed at age 38, he's now 45. Over the past year he has has a few episodes of acute psychosis... he becomes paranoid where he hears voices that no one else hears and he believes they are threatening him. He is on Mirapex 1 mg three x/day and Levadopa 100/25, 2 pills 5 times / day
For the psychosis he is being treated with Seroquel 50 mg. in morning and 100 mg at night. he recently has increased Seroquel because of worsening of the symptoms.
I am wondering if anyone has experienced this, and if you were taking Mirapex, and what did u do about it??
I am desperate for any info. I am a Registered Nurse and eager to help my husband.
