To Don I identified with the problems you described when you took Requip, only I had those side effects with Mirapex. I also had a bonus s/e of an unrelenting headache. I have been on a low dose of Requip for 6 months and I am going to slowly escalate the dose so I will keep you posted. I have noticed almost NO relief of my PD symptoms. I do NOT have any tremors but I have balance problems and rigidity. Sometimes I wonder what it would be like if I didn't take any meds. I really don't want to take sinemet as I am 54. And Don, don't feel bad about your misdirected mail. I once faxed my entire medical record to a trucking firm rather than my MD!! How embarrasing.
