I've been on Requip 1.25 mg x 3 daily and Amantidine 100 mg x 2 daily for 9 months. They have taken care of most of my symptoms but not completely. I still begin to shake before my next dose and have balance problems to. The worst part are the sleep attacks. They may disappear for a week or two but then they return for a week or two. Since this is the first medications I've taken for PD, I have nothing else to compare. Good Luck with yours but be careful for those sleep attacks.
