I'm posting this again. My mother Joyce (69, 2 years) is taking 15 mg. of Requip. In an effort to come off it (the doctor didn't think she needed it), she was told to skip the 5 mg. evening dose for one week for starters. After about 3 or 4 days, she was experiencing terrible tremors -- something she ordinarily doesn't have. She is now back up to full 15 mg. dose. What I'm wondering is (1) has anyone else had a similar experience coming off Requip (the way coming off Tasmar seems to cause freezing in some that didn't freeze before)? Or is there a way of telling whether the Requip has been benefiting her and coming off it is not a good idea. Any thoughts would be appreciated. (I'm trying to figure out whether Requip is, in fact, doing her some good.) As always, thanks. Debbie White [log in to unmask]
