This is my first message so I'm a bit unsure of what to say. I am
a 48 year old man who has had PD since I was 32. I have done
relatively well over the years with the tremors mainly localized on my
right side, however the last 2 years I have noticed them beginning to
start on my left as well. I have always taken just Sinemet although
I did take Eldyprel for a short time. I have just started Requip and
to be honest I am kind of exited about it. I havecut my Sinemet intake
by about a third and experience very little dyskenesia any more. My
handwriting is the best its been in years.(Not alll the time, but
more often ) Am currently taking 2.5 mg TID. I will probably hold the
dosage at that athough they say yu can go as high 8mg TID.
My biggest struggles gave always been depression amd fatigue.
For the depression I take Prozac.Its been great. For the fatigue I try
to exercise as much as I can but as I said , it is a struggle. I
have 2 kids and a full time job.
This has been interesting . And fun!
