Add me to the list with the same problem. I started 3 weeks ago on Requip .25/3times a day first week...2..25/3 times a day second week and this week 3/.25/3 times daily. I am to start the 1mg tomorrow/3 times daily. So far, I haven't found too much benefit and like your mother, I feel that the dystonia is worse. I take Requip as an add-on drug with Prolopa 25-100 (8 pills a day). The Requip was hopefully to make the Prolopa last longer and therefore I might be able to cut down on the Prolopa. It hasn't. But I will keep up with the instructions until I see my Neuro on Dec. 2. Is your mother also having weird dreams? My husband says I go through a gamut of emotions in my sleep...crying, screaming, laughing. But I don't remember any dream or nightmare. Hope we all can get this straightened out. Cheers and Regards to your Mother, Shari 0:-)
