Terry-- the message below, like several others, speaks of a fairly large dose of ReQuip being not only tolerated but also very helpful. That's wonderful--but I still wonder in what stage the writer may be, as that is not given. Just a word of warning-- if you are subject at all to hallucinations from meds, be VERY careful with ANY of the agonists (Permax,Parlodel,Mirapex or ReQuip) and add them cautiously to avoid the sort of "bad paranoid trip" that Peter and a few others have had, especially of you are also on Sinemet and it is not reduced. I expect you know by now that there is NO drug that affects ALL PWPs the same way--so experiment, with caution, and good luck. >In a message dated 97-12-23 18:19:19 EST, [log in to unmask] writes: SNIP> >Hi Terry: I started Requip about one month ago.
