Has anyone experienced withdrawal symptoms while tapering off of Roprinerol (Requip)?
I also take 600 mg of Stalevo and 10 tablets of Carbidopa /
Levodopa
25/100 each day. The next neurologist decreased the dosage from 24 mg to 12 mg. My new neurologist, who is a movement disorder specialist, has had me taper off from 12 to 10 to 8 to 6 mg daily.

Coming off Ropinirole
I have now been put on Sinemet (Carbidopa &
Levodopa
). These are to be started at 62.5mg four times a day and building up to 125mg four times a day while at the same time tapering down on the Ropinirrole. Just had to make myself a chart to keep me straight lol.

Did you know that only half of our disease is being treated?
It means you may have another way to treat this without experiencing the dark side of
levodopa
. It means you may be able to significantly decrease your intake of ldopa and live many more years without invasive brain surgeries.

We did show Jackie the film at my next appointment at which I was hardly able to walk and it was decided that it was now time to add
levodopa
into the mix in the form of sinnemet.

Diagnosis to DBS (repost from www.youngandshaky.com)
Generally, DBS does not improve those symptoms that do not respond to
levodopa
. DBS may help patients achieve motor function off of medication that is similar to their best pre-operative motor function while on medication, although this is not always the case.

Did hear or this ?
Another useful drug in Parkinson’s disease treatment is
levodopa
, which acts as a dopamine precursor. Other useful drugs are dopamine receptor agonist, such as bromocriptine, which allow lower
levodopa
doses.

I called my Neurologist this morning and he took me off the ropinirole (I was taking 3mg 3 times a day) He just said quit taking them and he changed my carbidopa/
levodopa
to 2 pill 3 times a day instead of 1 1/2 4 times a day.I am very leary of this change, I have down time as it is with lots of tremors

By bypassing the dopamine system altogether, a glutamate-based treatment could provide the same symptomatic benefits of
levodopa
while avoiding disabling side effects such as dyskinesia (uncontrollable movement). The Vanderbilt team has focused on a specific glutamate receptor called mGluR4.
