I think that it can take more Requip than that to help. Remember each person is
different but my husband's neuro said that it took about 12 to 15 MG per day to
get to the therapeutic dose. But I know others have had results at lower dosages.

From what I hear a journal is a real help with knowing if/how a medicine helps.
Some of the things you might include are:
- medicine taken (include how much) and at what time of day
-  foods eaten and time of day eaten
- when med. kicks in
- how long meds are effective
- all reactions both good and bad
