Comments on Madopar and Requip XL

[Helshubby]

Currently taking 22mg Requip XL once a day at 7:30am .I've already tried Sinemet but they made me feel worse.PD nurse suggested Madopar dissolvable , 1x 62.5mg a day before i get up as i have mobility problems first thing in the morning. Does anyone out there have any experience of this combination? I'm about to go to my GP to get them prescribed but thought i'd ask someone first (before PD i wouldn't even take aspirin for a headache!!)

I am on Stelevo, Requip XL, and also take Madopar before bed. The combination seems to work for me (touch wood!)

Do you take these medications for Parkinson's or MSA? It seems everyone's comments are about Parkinson's;'s not MSA. Isn't this MSA Trust?

Swolden stomach...is this a part of PD? I have lost a lot of weight and look like skin and bone other that a "swolden stomach" which sticks out that I have had to purchase new belts and clothing. Dennis
