To Jane Malik, I am in a similar position as your dad, I am 63, have had a tremor now for almost three years.(1 1/2 years since diagnosis) I took requip for 5 weeks but did not reach a dosage that gave me any symptomatic relief. I think it may be a good drug, but I don't know. In the meantime I am taking an over the counter drug, Benadryl which gives me some relief from the tremor and has a mild tranquizling effect also.My movement disorder neurologist suggested this. He is in no hurry for me to take anything stronger until I really need it. Lanier Maddux 63/1 Chattanooga, Tenn. Home of Lookout Mountain and Rock City ([log in to unmask])
