Bill - It's really weird - I've recently started having almost identical experiences - usually when i'm doing xword puzzles. I have the sense of someone standing slightly behind and to the right of me just watching and waiting .....spooookeeey. I put it down to lack of sleep - i've not been getting much lately and it always happens late at night when i'm tired but too stressed to go to bed. BTW we have a similar drug cocktail. I have -sinamet CR 100/25 4x day requip 2mg 3xday Levadopa/carbidopa [non CR] 100/25 i a day amantadine 100mg 1a day. Also - Apo Nadol, LAsix, Eltroxin, Vioxx, Paxil and Allopurinol plus a multi vit. TG we have universal medicare here Anyway, FWIW, I decided that these "visions" were mild hallucinations possibly caused by a combination of fatigue and meds.
