Hi Michel: Hate to disagree with you but have been
doing a lot of research re:ReQuip and these are not
uncommon side-effects. Had been on Permax for 1-1/2
years, and my experience with it was a walk in the
park compared to my problems with ReQuip. You need to
remember two things with dealing with medications.
#1. We are each of us, even with the same illness,
unique, and may respond quite differently to the same
medication.
#2. Newer drugs are often initially marketed as free
of side-effects, for example, Prozac. No drug is
side-effect free. It just takes a little longer for
the data on the newer ones to surface.
