Dear Debbie, My mother, 80 years old, recently went to Requip with reduced Sinemet due to hallucinations. She has been on Requip and 1/2 hte usual dosage of Sinemet for 3-4 weeks. She is still not feeling well and having the hallucinations. Can you comment on this please? I also think she may be a bit depressed as she does not want to do anything.
