HI Ann, My situation is complicated in that I am a participant in a double blind fetal implant study but when nothing else was helpful my Dr. and I (partly at my suggestion) decided to try higher than usual doses. My dystonia which was already bad got significantly worse even though it was our operating assumption that the dystonia was occurring because of lack of dopamine rather than excess (either is possible). I am making an attempt to decrease my requip and l-dopa as much as possible. While I have had some bad days with the decrease I also have had some very good ones. I suspect it is related to a graft which sometimes works ok. Therefore my case is likely not typical. In the meantime I am scheduled for STN DBS on May 18.
