Are Sinemet and Madopar the same thing - L-Dopa ?
Currently taking
Requip
XL but they're starting to wear off . Have tried Sinemet but they made my tremour worse !! Doc has recommended trying Madopar (dissolvable ones) but a low dose once a day to start with as i struggle with mornings (don't we all?)

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.

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.

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.

When did you start with physical therapy?
He has tremors on his left side and is on
Requip
, Azilect and a anti-tremor med (don't remember name). We exercise regularly but am just wondering if we should be working with someone now to help prevent progression? Any suggestions and/or info is appreciated

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).

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

Help with walking "issues"
I recently went from 20-22mg
Requip
XL - am not on anything else.Or could it be due to having a month off running (and exercise in general) nothing else has changed - just sometimes feel my right foot is "stuck" to the floor and/or someone has tied my shoelaces together - haven''t managed to fall over

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 wanna new Drug (one that won't make me sick)
A negative effect of stopping the
Requip
is the occasional leg jerking returned.My Neurologist took me off
Requip
and prescribed Amantadine in addition to Azilect. AMANTADINE has pharmacological actions as both an anti-Parkinson and an antiviral drug.
