Dear Fran, A bit more information would be helpful, to best answer your question. > Please respond to a two part question as I am experiencing difficulty and am > reluctant to take more medication than necessary. It's generally good to take the least possible amount of medication, I think most everyone here will agree. Could you describe the difficulty you are having? That could make a difference in the responses. > 1) Would some of you please let me know if you are taking Mirapex or Requip > and if one or the other seems to be more effective? Both of these have proved excellent for many people; however, some individuals do much better on one than on the other, it is really different for everyone. There are many people on the list who can give you information from their personal experiences, and that should be very helpful. But it's still good to bear in mind that your own experience will likely be quite different from anyone else's.
