Dull

I'm looking for the right term to describe how I feel right now. It's the common feeling the day after taking Requip (and it's the same as with Mirapex).

I feel....dull, plastic coated, like I'm not quite here able to put everything together and think things through completely. When I get ready to do something, I always feel like I'm forgetting something. It's like I can't quite put "it" (whatever I'm doing) all together. It's not really detached. It's like I'm not quite all the way in reality, like I'm not interacting with reality, there's some sort of barrier there. Ugh, plastic coated is the best I can get. I feel like I have to fight through that coating to get to reality. It's not exactly a pleasant feeling.

I'm looking for the words before I call the sleep doctor. Or rather, his nurse. I want to get the words right so she doesn't recommend a higher dosage or a prescription to give it a bit more of a try. I think the last time, when I tried to tell her that the Mirapex made me much more restless than normal, that I failed and she thought I was still having problems with RLS.

Communicating certainly isn't made easier by this feeling of plastic coating.
