Yes, I did read your blog. It was the reason I asked the question. I appreciate your most helpful information. I have an appointment with my neuro next week, had planned to increase the 3mg of Ropinirole she had prescribed previously, but your blog changed my mind.. My HMO always pushes the generics, but not this time.

Thank you for your response and your advice..

I have had 2 different generics dispensed recently. I can't honestly tell if the generic is less or more effective. I put diferences down to all those other factors like sleep and exercise and stress.

I suspect that it might be different when i have had PD longer and are more sensitive to meds. I also wonder if it is not always about which type is best but more to do with which your body has got used to.

NOT ; The real REQUIP is what works = no luck with the generic form of it.
