Hi S.J Abas
My name is Janice, I am now on Ropinrole also known my another name
Requip. I have been on it for almost a four weeks now. I saw improvement at
3/4 mg. I am now on 1mg three times a week, when I up the does each Fri. I
had a upset tummy, it made real sick yesterday noon, last night I did ok.
The upset tummy just lasted a day at each increase of dose. This morning it
was hard getting out of bed the legs give me trouble at times. I am also
effected on my right side, tremors and bad balance I do fall. I also am in
yoga and do walking. I would like to do jazzercise but think I would be on
the floor most of the time. I do swim we have our own pool and are able to
keep it warm. On a bad day the pool is my best friend. I hope this helps you
