I'm taking Spiroco xl (roprinirole) 2mgs 3 times a day. I've been taking them for 6 weeks but I'm still sticking. I also take madopar 3 times a day.

When I was first diagnosed I took roprinirole and it improved my walking. Then I came off it and went onto madopar and amantadine for some time but now I'm off of

amantadine. I suppose it's a case of trial and error!
