Day 14 requip  12/5/97

5 AM awoke & took 1.25 mg of requip, 25/100 sinemet and 5mg of elderpyrl
I woke up on which lasted till 7:15 AM and went suddenly off

8 AM took 1 sinemet  still off

11 AM apt. with Dr. Perez He decided I was not getting enough REquip so we
decided to increase from 1.25 mg 3x a day to 2 mg  3x per day. And every two
days increase the dosage by .50  3x a day.

The doctor also noted an irregular heart beat and scheduled me for EKG and
echo cardiogram on Monday.

12: AM took 2 mg of requip and  sinemet 25/100 and 5mg of elderptyl

3 PM  1   25/100 sinemet
6 PM  1   25/100 sinemet
9 PM   1 sinemet and 2.00 mg of requip

Days summary. My periods of on our increasing. I am taking sinemet  25/100
every three hours it takes a hour for the sinemet to kick in and turn Me on.(
What a phrase.... it use to be inna tiney poka dot bikinis)   I have then had
1 to 1 ¼ hours of on and off for the last 45 minutes of the dose.

In retospect  I felt super as I start the requip and then everything
collapsed. I feel that occurred because it took a few days for the Parlodel to
work out of my system and for those few days I was getting a boost from
parlodel and requip. The requip did not come on line fast enough to replace
parlodel.

Beginning to feel better.
