I'm d
oing 6 mg of Requip and 2 X 100/25 Sinemet a day. I had been d
oing 9 mg of REquip and dropping down 3 mg made a huge difference to the
sleepiness. The extra 3 mg didn't help my symptoms much and made me feel
really crummy. The "just a touch" of Sinemet helps. For me it
is a far superior drug but I'll keep on the low dose of Sinemet and
the nasty Requip as long as my neurologist sees fit as he hopes it will keep
away the nasty Sinemet side effects.

old son)
I'm trying to get off requip and go on sinemet
25/100 On the requip I have no energy and am sleepy all the time. I've dropped
down from 15 mg daily to 6 to8 mg. With 2x 25/100.
Does requip take time to get out of your system?
Also is being tired all the time meds or PD?
is a side effect of sinemet
sleepyness?
Thanks
