I'm just going off Pergolide in favour of trying Ropinirole/Requip. My first choice was Entacapone or Tolcapone, but they are still on clinical trial in UK, as yet. Requip has JUST been released. We shall SEE what the results are when I start taking it! Best regards -- Jeremy Browne, Hampshire, UK [log in to unmask] Shaking Hands BBS, Fidonet 2:252/160 (+44 1252 626233, also FAX)
