feeling the stress of giving birth to the Parkinson Alliance, I was counting out the pile of pills I take daily, and casually popped into my mouth and swallowed my full days quanity of Requip all at once. (18mg vs the 6mg three times a day) I stood there with a dazed look on my face. My wife said what's the matter? I told her. Panic for the next 30 minutes while we tried to get a hold of a neurologist. Thank God for Ira Shoulson who has come to my rescue twice in recent months. I believe he has a sincere appreciation for what I and that merry band of advocates are doing to increase funding for Parkinson's research funding. I know I have a sincere appreciation of what a caring physician Ira Shoulson is. At any rate he returned my panicked Saturday morning call and went over the likely consequences. I was put under the strict care and watchful eye of my loving wife. Took it easy all day and suffered no ill effects. In fact I did not take any Sinemet all day and discovered these agonists really work. Jim Cordy Pittsburgh [log in to unmask]
