Subject: INFORMATION ON SIDE EFFECTS OF PERMAX AND REQUIP


Seems I've exhausted the "official channels" of information so am =
turning to the folks who really know what's going on.  Please help if =
you can....
=20
My docor started to switch me from Permax to Requip on 1/3.  Plan was to =
reduce Permax dosage in half while adding .25 Requip at recommended 3x =
daily dosage ...but I'm having more tremors than I've ever had and also =
difficulty breathing along with pressure feeling in chest.
=20
Called doctor - He didn't think it was either of medications - I had =
already called Smith Kline product information and found that there had =
been reports of chest pain - Doctor told me to stop Requip, wait 72 =
hours and see if breathing problems went away but  to resume Permax at =
previous dosage.  If pain persisted go to Internist and have lungs =
checked out.  If pain gone call him back and ???
=20
Today I only took 1 Requip and resumed the usual dosage of Permax (+ =
Sinemet CR)  Problems are presisting.  Does anyone out there have =
information or similar experiences?  If so, what did you do?
=20
Thanks for any help.
