Is anyone experiencing any of the OCD behavior from Mirapex?
I did but switched to
Requip
and the OCD is 99% gone. It does take care of the OCD better but also wears off quicker than Mirapex, made me very sleepy in afternoons and the tremors were a little more noticeable but it's worth the side affects to me.

Help! - I need sleep
I was taking Stalevo 100 4 times a day and
Requip
XL 8mg once a day but was recently given Sinemet Plus 25mg in addition. My sleep pattern was at the most 2 hours after going to bed and then usually a further, if lucky, 2 hours later. No sleep during the day.

Can this happen really
I just moved to amarillo texas from clovis new mexico went to walgreens to get my
requip
xl transfered and the pharmachy in clovis wouldn't transfer it. He said he would lose to much money. Can they do that? This will be my third day without pills.

How effective is Dopamine agents for RLS?
We would like to try out the medication "Dopamine agonists" like Ropinirole (
Requip
), Pramipexole (Mirapex), Pergolide (Permax) and Rotigotine. Please advice your recommendations and if possible, please do give your inferences.

Drugs for Parkinson's- how do you spell their names?
The most commonly used drugs seem to be Madopar Sinemet Mirapexin also known as pramipexole
Requip
also known as ropinerole Symmetrel also known as amantadine CR after the first two means controlled release There are many other drugs that might be used, and it's confusing

Sleep Patterns
I used to take a Stalevo on waking, but my Consultant has told me to discontinue this and increased my dosage of
Requip
XL, which seems to have made things worse. Knitting seems to stop my tremor, but does not help me to sleep.

Hello from a new boy
I put that down to seeing a marvellous Neuorlogist in Cambridge (not my home town) who recommended Azilect as an adddition to my Sinemet Plus and Amantadine and to change my Ropinirole to
Requip
XL.

I worry about the effects of Requip.
I ve been on
Requip
for about 9 monthe, and just added Azilest, but even before the Azilect, I would get vert tired about an hour after I took my pill, 3 mg 3 times a day. My normal bp is about 125/65.

Should I have DBS or not?
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 of someone drilling inside my head, complications etc.

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

What do you do when your medication stops working?
I had very high hopes of
Requip
but sadly it had no effect at all. I've ended up back on the clonazepam with a side order of gabapentin but I'm not sure that has much effect either. It seems that for me it's clonazepam or nothing.

Experienced RLSers. Where to next w/ severe RLS? Is there any hope?
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 God for my Doctor! What am I in for as I get older? Am I on narcodics until I die?
