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?
