I would suggest staying away from dopamine agonist Mirapex. My uncle took that drug and had severe side effects, including hallucinations.

I have taken amantadine for about 8 months. After a few months I started having hallucinations, so cut the dose in half. I still get most of the benefits, but don't see things out of the corner of my eye any more. Maybe you just need to reduce the amantadine dose, rather than eliminate it.
