Meyer, M.D. <[log in to unmask]> Aan: [log in to unmask] <[log in to unmask]> Datum: vrijdag 11 juni 1999 2:57 Onderwerp: Dyskinesia and STN Hi Charlie, >> severe dyskinesia even without meds (except requip) << Agonists can NOT cause dyskinesia, l-dopa can. To fast withdrawal of l-dopa can also give dyskinesia. How much requip did you use before the STN? How much now? How much Sinemet before the STN? How much now? >> as my STN Stimulator has been turned up. << Both sides? And how much of which meds are you told to take less for compensation? >> I presume this is a withdrawal from the requip << NO. That would cause IMO cramps and OFF. >> ( I have taken only about 1000 mg total of Sinemet << A day, I presume? >> he feels it is part of a withdrawal from sinemet or Requip.? << Sinemet. Or still too much Sinemet compared with the too high upturned stimulator. Hans.
