Hi Everyone - Happy Holidays !
I haven't been able to deal with the volume of mail lately - hope I
haven't missed anything !
My dad's latest N visit was last week - The N was annoyed that he hasn't gotten
higher than 1.5 mg/Mirapex ... still light-headed and not feeling good at
higher doses.
Wants to switch him to ReQuip - I've picked up that this guy isnt comfortable
with Mirapex and its dosing etc. I know he didn't know much about it before it
was released. However he was involved with pre-release ReQuip.
Aren;t they about the same though ? I know some of you have switched - what
do you think ?
Scientifically I gather they are fairly equivalent - but we all know people
react to the same meds differently.
My dad may switch after the holidays - this was no time to play around.
BTW - he is only on an agonists (now Mirapex) - he was able to cut the Sinemet
out right away - which was good cause it made him deathly sick.
Hope everyone has a happy healthy holiday - our prayers are with those
having a difficult time ... welcome new members.
Talk to you soon
Donna
