Sandy-- I hope Requip helps you. Have you been told to reduce Sinemet
whyen titrating up on Requip? Any agonist will make the brain think it is
getting more dopa, and MAY cause an "overdose", as happened to Peter with
Mirapex when neuro refused to reduce Sinemet. Peter took Requip for
years, but eventually had to drop it, as he was on MUCH Sinemet and it
increased the hallucinations. It seems to be the total intake that
matters, not just the particular med, as these affect PWPs so differently.
Good luck !
