I'm slightly confused about getting off sinemet and on to requip. Requip is usually used as duo therapy with sinemet or as a mono therapy before sinemet. Requip is a dopamine agonist, usually started per c/l or added when sinemet is not doing all it could do. Are you young? Does your doc think he started you on c/l too early? Or are u having bad side effects with the c/l?

I'm really hoping it will work well as Sinemet is only effective for so long. The doc is titrating me up on requip, then going to titrate me down on Sinemet. She said that Sinemet was very dangerous to stop without slow titrating down. Seems like I should have been told that when I first was prescribed it. I started on Sinemet in May of 2010 so have been taking it for about 2 years and 3 months. > > Linda > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] > In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
