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. Debbie White [log in to unmask]
