Well my dad has his N appt yesterday - and as we figured he's switching him to Requip. N says - R is more flexible in dosage than Mirapex - so we should be able to find a dose thats right for him. I don't know why he refuses to accept than less than 3mg/day of Mirapex is OK - many of you do that. I should probably contact the pharm rep and get him more literature. ANyway - we're going doin on the M ... he was at 0.25mg - 6 pills a day - we're going to 4 this week and then 2 then a week without anything ... what can we expect ? will this be a nightmare ? Then the next week we start on Requip - following the sample kit (we didn't get no free offers either !!). Has anyone else been here - done this ? Any advice is welcomed.
