Hi Caroline: Thank you very much for your information. I am now taking Bromocriptine which is the older type Dopamine Agonist. My MD has previously suggested me switching to Requip (Ropinirole) but on a greater medication costs, and will decide when I next see him. I am eager to hear your experience in taking Requip. Some people say that it has greater side effect such as sudden doze off or dizzyness. Are you taking Requip side by side with Sinemet? I have posted to Dr. Lieberman and got the reply, with the suggestion to discuss with my MD about changing to Comtan or Requip.
