Is it necessary to take meds during the night?
First around 8am (with 1
Requip
XL
), the last at any time between 9pm and midnight. I retire at around 1am to 1.30, having dozed through various TV programmes. I usually have to visit the bathroom during the night but, here's the thing, I don't need to take any medication during the night.

Shopaholic!!
The catastrophic effects of becoming a shopaholic will literally be the death of me. Whilst being treated with Requip, which is a Dopamine Agonists from 2003-2005 I turned into a monster!! I began to shop more and more, buying things that I couldn't afford or even needed. I became an expert in

A wee joke to cheer us up on the Requip night shift
One afternoon a Scotsman was riding in his limousine when he saw two men along the roadside eating grass. Disturbed, he ordered his driver to stop and he got out to investigate. He asked one man, "Why are you eating grass?" "We don't have any money for food," the poor man replied. "We have to eat

Requip side effects?
The Dr. added Requip to perhaps bring my ability to write back. It's in addition to Sinemet (2 tab 3x day). He's not willing to raise the sinemet - I have a long way to go- Here's the problem: Requip has been very helpful; I am writing much better - a I'm a teacher and accommodations are OK, but I

I wanna new Drug (one that won't make me sick)
You said it Huey; one that won't make me crash my car or make me feel three feet thick. Sounds like Mr. Lewis had some knowledge of Parkinson's drugs. MIRAPEX a nonergot dopamine agonist, was the first drug prescribed for me.Side effects include: extreme drowsiness, falling asleep suddenly, even
