I'm curious, because what Greg takes is similkar to Peter's doses. In your
experience does increasing Requip increase the danger of hallucinations,
etc? P{eter has to be careful about this, and I would love to be able to
add Requip and cut back again on Sinemet---any suggestions to run past our
neuro? We are noticing more end-of-dose off times of late.
