My mother Joyce (68/13 months), is finally feeling better (the tightness in
the chest is a lot better). She is currently on Requip 5mg. 3x/day, 25/100
SInemet 2x/day, and 10 mg. Paxil/day.

What is curious is that although she FEELS better (and she sounds better on
the phone - less shakiness in her voice), her PD symptoms aren't much
improved: slowness, hand rigidity. In fact, she has developed a left hand
tremor and feels it's getting worse. But in terms of overall function and
her being up to do things, there is improvement.

Is it possible that the increasing dosages of Requip could be responsible
for the tremor?? Thanks.
