Thinking about other options
My Iron test have always been fine . my doctor will prescribe the
Requip
for me kind of based on my request from what I feel I need but I’m a little fearful Of the long term effects Has anybody else had any experience with being on
Requip
for such a long time at a fairly high dose ?

Disappointing
Told him the
requip
basically sucked, made my legs worse, caused insomnia and repetitive thoughts. So....he puts me on.. mirapex. W.T.F?? I flat out asked about methadone and he said, and i quote, "I don't prescribe methadone." With a really annoying tone.

Dr Buchfuhrer is Awesome!
In fact it only got worse because they increased
requip
and then The Neupro patch to levels that would insure augmentation. Dr Buchfuhrer took his time with me, explained three possible treatment options took my input and made a decision. I had been on 5mg methadone and 4 mg Neupro.

Artificial sweetened Cola drinks rapid relief?
Hi, i was dx with PD in 2014, and started out with selegilin and
Requip
(dopamin agonist), later adding L-DOPA (Madopar/Sinemet) and entakapon. Altogether enabling me to work full time, and I am convinced this would not be possible without such a «cocktail».

improving sleep quality
I am taking sleep meds as well (currently gabapentin,
requip
(although phasing that out) and klonopin. I was taking all of these meds prior to starting this therapy and having great difficulty getting and staying asleep. I have had experienced significant improvement.

Medication change
I currently take
Requip
(brand name for Ropinorole) I have taken these meds for about 7 years. I am on 4/6mg, I have gone up to 12mg as the medication wasn't affective and the neurologist expressed a huge concern at the dose. He discussed drug saturation etc and suggest I change.

Requip
I haven't been taking my Anxiety pills Because I was feeling better, but I did notice when on
requip
I would start feeling sad and crying towards the evening, mostly missing my mom she lives in Texas, she's 86 and I just want to see her more often.

How are people dealing with symptoms in the evening/getting to sleep?
I was prescribed Remeron,
Requip
and Klonopin to get to sleep and it worked but it was dark dreams and cold sweats. I'm now off Klonopin and Remeron and taking the
Requip
and Gabapentin. Last night was brutal.....couldn't get to sleep and the symptoms just continued all night and all morning.

Gabapentin augmentation??
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?

Clonozapam and requip?
I have been on
requip
for 3 yrs now and it is not working like it did. I am now feeling dizzy all day from having increased the dose. One of my doctors had suggested clonozapam but I am petrified to take it and risk another 4 days without any sleep.

dystonia after requip
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.
