Have you Impulsive Compulsive Behaviour? Do you know anyone who has this? Do you know anyone on Mirapex or Requip. Promipexal or Ropinirole?
I hope you will trust me with your life, if we by sharing our tales of woe about these sad meds we have to take, it could help the Pd people following up in our footsteps, be brave, share your stories, we don't need names, we are all in the same boat, I think it's called the Titanic. I know this is

Is PD better or worse with medications?
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!

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 should I do?
The question is, should I stay on the patches, or go back to 6 mg
Requip
until I see the specialist in June?. At least the
Requip
was managing the Parkinson's. what does everyone think I'd welcome any advice.

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?

Shopaholic!!
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.

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.

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
Requip
was the first meds (along with Zelapar) my neuro 's put me on. 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.

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.

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.

Meds and tremor
I take
Requip
once daily and Stalevo five times daily for my tremor, which is my main symptom. On the occasional good day when my tremor does not visit me too often I take my Stalevo when I have no tremor. Shortly after taking this my tremor starts.

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.
