Should I have DBS or not?
I was diagnosed about 10 years ago. May 2011 I was in Lund to be accessed by a neurosurgeon. I have the shakes quite bad AT TIMES, not all the time, I take only about 1/3 of the total amount of Stalevo and Requip. Because of the waiting time I have begun to worry - do I really need DBS, the thought

My Mom had RLS, my Dad had Parkinsons - any guesses whether my Requip would mask Parkinsons symptoms?

I find I can control my tremor
Sometimes Stalevo and
Requip
XL
together and sometimes at different times. Not a lot of success so far. However, I have found that if I can completely relax and concentrate, I am able to stop my tremors. Although they start again if my situation alters.

What do you do when your medication stops working?
I've been taking clonazepam for RLS for many years now. For a long time just one tablet a night did the trick but then I started to need more and more to have the same effect. I stopped taking it and tried every other medication the doctor had in his repertoire but nothing worked. I had very high hopes

Does anyone else shout out in their sleep?
I am on Stalevo and
Requip
XL
. On the other hand, it could be down to Parkinsons messing with my sleep pattern. It messes with almost everything else!!

Experienced RLSers. Where to next w/ severe RLS? Is there any hope?
I have severe RLS that attacks not only my legs but back and arms with such pain that I can only keep it down by fentanyl and morphine. I also take requip 4mg, magnesium tablets, potassium along w/ other vitamins. I am constantly checking my iron which has never been low and do yoga for stretching. Thank

Is PD better or worse with medications?
I was DXed in 2009.. I have thus far tried 2 meds: Mirapex and Requip and the side effects far outweighed any therapeutic effect. In fact there was not any therapeutic effect AT ALLl in both cases! So at present, I am not on any pharmas for it, but I do take an herbal (nervine tonic)remedy called

Do our bodies get used to our meds?
I was wondering if I am getting used to taking the same meds - Stalevo and
Requip
XL
, as I have been taking these for about 3 years. It could be that these need increasing, or that my condition is progressing, although my physiotherapist said that I am stable at the moment.

'wearing off' and meds
I take Stalevo and
Requip
XL
. I have been rereading answers to this question which was posed recently. My 'wearing off' takes a slightly different form. I find that for a period of days I get very little relief from my tablets.

Problems experienced while on Requip XL?
I tak 6mg of Requip daily and thought I did not have any problems with this. However, I am now wondering whether cramps, etc. in my lower legs, etc. can be attributed to Requip? I would be grateful to know of any problems people have experienced whilst taking Requip, however minor, before I keep my

what should I do?
after taking mirapexin without success. I went on to Requip, slowly increasing the dose until I got to 8 mg, then I started get hallucinations, sparkly vision,hearing voices, etc. I reduced down to 6 mg and all those unwanted symptoms went. Went to see the neurologist who decided dopamine agonists don't

not quite diagnosed?
Hi there, I am 41 and have been sick most of my life. I can remember going to my PCP as a teen and saying I have these horrible pains in my shins. He would always laugh at me and tell me I was too young to worry about such things. 30 years later I still have all those symptoms and many

I take 6mg of Requip XL daily
I take 6mg of
Requip
XL
daily. I usually take mine in the morning but have noticed that other people take it at night. I don't recall being told when to take this, but that doesn't mean anything. I don't recall much of anything! Does anyone find it works better if taken at a certain time?
