Recently I have been running into problems with severe dyskinesia even
without meds (except requip) as my STN Stimulator has been turned up.
Has anyone else with STN experienced this or has anybody experienced
dyskinesia without meds being involved in some way.  I have had to turn
off the stimulator twice since it was turned up yesterday to get
comfortable?  I presume this is a withdrawal from the requip ( I have
taken only about 1000 mg total of Sinemet  since I had the stimulator
turned on at the end of May!!!) I Have a call into my doc (neurology). I
have talked to the neurosurgeon and he feels it is part of a withdrawal
from sinemet or Requip.?

Since this STN is so new I am looking for anyone who has gone through
this and gotten to the other side (or not) as the case may be.
Thanks,
