Couple of questions please :)
Firstly, does anyone know if any of the heart meds cause ringing in the ears? I’ve just started an extra one this week, Trangina XL, kind of a slow release constant GTN, am wondering if it’s that? Also, does anyone have experience of ‘complicated angioplasty’ I have 2 narrowings on the LAD, one which

Watchdog sues FDA for dragging its feet on Parkinson's drug warnings
Moving the FDA's gears can be a lengthy process, particularly when it comes to citizen petitions. But after waiting two and a half years for regulators to stiffen impulse-control warnings on dopamine-driving Parkinson's drugs, one watchdog group ran out of patience. Public Citizen sued the agency Monday

How are people dealing with symptoms in the evening/getting to sleep?
I'm recently diagnosed, looking to avoid using sleep meds but my left hand, lower left leg and my left foot get really electrified and it makes it really hard to get to sleep. I take my last dose of Sinemet around 8pm but it typically doesn't touch these evening symptoms. I was prescribed Remeron,

Gabapentin augmentation??
I just joined this forum. I have had RLS for about 40 years. I have experience augmentation with Requip. I have been taking gabapentin for about ten years. Has anyone experienced augmentation with gabapentin? If so, did you stop the gabapentin? Did you increase your dose?

dystonia after requip
My husband developed dystonia approximately 10 years ago. We figured out that he developed it after taking Requip. His provider was clueless that the Requip could have caused the dystonia. I am a retired nurse and figured it out about a year after he developed the dystonia. No one believed me when

New to Requip, been on Celexa
So have been taking Celexa for years 20mg per day, the higher 40mg dose has always caused RLS. As did missing doses. I must have this medication, changing isn't optional. I just went through a physical hell that ended with a script for Requip. I was so grateful for the relief, but I've felt tired and

Requip
My doctor prescribed Requip yesterday. I started taking it today. By the second dose, I knew I could no longer take it. I was so drowsy I couldn’t stay awake, also, it was causing me stomach pain and no appetite at all. I think I’ll just stick to my selegiline and my walking. Feeling defeated😰
