Davey, I read your information with interest. I have been working into medication gradually, currently take Ropinirole, 1mg. three times daily, to be doubled when this px runs out. Several times lately I have neglected to take my mid-day pill and seem to feel at least as well for the lack. I will be interested to see how your "experiment" turns out.

Hello Dave

I have been on the same regime as you until recently when i increased my Madopar125 to 4 times a day. Is there any difference in the way you take your meds? I was wondering about you feeling crappy recently and why that might be. I have tried cutting back on requip three times but always end up needing that extra 2 mg. I do get sleepy and im wondering about taking requip at night instead of the morning. Its now nearly a month since you posted. I wonder how its going?
