Hi all, I was a part of this list several years ago and dropped out to meet other personal needs. Now I am back and would like to ask the group for their experience with Stalevo. I am currently taking 150 mg 4 x day plus Requip 6 mg 3 x day. I have some inflammation in the joints of my hands that is becoming more painful. Has anyone else experienced this side effect from Stalevo/Requip or is this a separate arthritic condition? Thanks for your interest in responding.
