Zelapar--is any one taking it? Comparison between Zelapar and Azilect?
WHen I was diagnosed with PD, the Neuro put me on a low dose of Requip and zelapar. I noticed a change right away- like I could move, had my balance back and an overall good feeling. Six months later, because I was going through a stressful time, He added a anti depressant. I tried many of those and

stopping dopamine agonist to start taking sinamet, how long to give in between?
I have been taking Pramipexole for a week and a half, before that
Requip
xl
, 6mg for a year. I have to completely stop taking Prami for a week before starting Sinamet. This is going to be hard as its technically going "cold turkey".

I have noticed that a lot of y'all are on requip XL but at a low dosage. Is it because of the other meds you are taking that you
The highs and lows of the regular
requip
about did me in. So, I've been on the
XL
for a few years- still does a # on my stomach but it works most days. I just started amantadine and am wondering if (all goes well) could Icut back on the
requip
XL
maybe I'd feel better.

Are you at your best morning or later on?
After breakfast, I take 6mg of
Requip
XL
. I am not sure how efficient these are. I then take another 3 Stalevo during the day. The last one before bed. My tremor usually worsens during the day until it is almost continuous during the evening.

The hidden shame of drug-affected behaviors resulting from Dopamine agonists.
Dopamine agonists such as Requip and Mirapex can cause Obsessive Compulsive and addictive like symptoms. Documented research has acknowledged the facts. The problem is the data is skewed simply because there are so many unreported cases. The shame and embarrassment prevents PD patients from reporting

When getting off Requip do any of you know what the side affects are?
My husband is only taking a 3mg dose at night for bedtime. We will eventually stop it all together if we can but he is having a very hard time. Please tell me your side affects when you got off it so we can know if what he is going through is normal.

Comments on Stalevo and Requip XL
I take Stalevo 5 times a day and 6mg of Requip once per day. I would be interested in getting feedback from people also taking these meds. They seem to suit me most of the time. Today has been a good day. Have been taking meds regularly, even when I have not needed them. Other times they are very

Levedopa reduces pain ?
Diagnosed in 2004 I have not yet startet to use Levedopa. I use Eldepryl and Requip and do a lot of different exersice. But for the last 3 months I have become very stiff and has strong pains in my lower back', hips and thighs. And I wonder : will the start of using levedopa reduce the pains ?

Is it me or is it my meds?
He increased my
Requip
XL
to 8 mg daily from 6, and I take 4 Carbidopa/Levodopa 25/100 tablets daily. He wants me to try the increase in
Requip
XL
for 2 weeks, then check back in with him. He may, at that time change the Carbidopa/Levodopa to Stalevo. I feel like I'm going crazy.

Help; please. How can I lose weight.
I have read that some people find they lose weight because of the sickness they get with some meds, especially Requip. I also suffer from feeling sick, but have not lost any weight. In fact, I am still gaining weight. I eat carefully, exercise regularly and generally try to do all the right things
