Experiences with

Vensir XL

My brain feels like it is rattling in my head.... I feel like I'm in a fog. I also have internal tremors that make me feel like my insides are vibrating. I had an appointment with my Neurologist last week. He had no answer....could be the Parkinson's, could be the meds. That doesn't help how I feel

It is about 6 years since I was diagnosed and my tremor is now in my right arm and leg, only to be expected I know that. At the moment, as directed by my Parkinsons nurse, I am experimenting with taking my meds at different times and sometimes before, sometimes with and other times after food. Sometimes

I got the results from my eeg this morning. It appears that all is normal. They had me on 10 mg's of Valium 3 times a day along with 1 mg of azilect,3 doses carbidopa 25mg/levodopa 100 mg, requip xl 4 mg and 1 carbidopa 50/levodopa 200 cr at bedtime. They seem to think the blackouts were from the valilum

I have already commented on the fact that my meds are not doing their job at the moment. This has happened to me before and usually rights itself. I have a hospital appointment soon, if it does not. I was wondering if I am getting used to taking the same meds - Stalevo and Requip XL, as I have been

I tak 6mg of Requip daily and thought I did not have any problems with this. However, I am now wondering whether cramps, etc. in my lower legs, etc. can be attributed to Requip? I would be grateful to know of any problems people have experienced whilst taking Requip, however minor, before I keep my

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. Other times they are very

I have been taking Pramipexole for a week and a half, before that Requip xl, 6mg for a year. I have to completely stop taking Prami for a week before starting Sinamet. This is going to be hard as its technically going "cold turkey". Is there anything I can do to clear Prami from my system faster

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?) Anyone have experience of this drug "cocktail" (

I take 6mg of Requip XL daily. I usually take mine in the morning but have noticed that other people take it at night. I don't recall being told when to take this, but that doesn't mean anything. I don't recall much of anything! Does anyone find it works better if taken at a certain time? To be

I am starting Pramipexole .52mg per day prolonged release in the morning as Requip XL 6mg is not working out. The idea is that I take the lower dosage of dopamine agonist and top it up with Madopar. I am worried that I will end up with dyskinesia due to my age and how early I am taking Levodopa.

I have always had dreams and can remember most of them, but just recently I have started talking and shouting in my sleep. My husband says I speak quite clearly, but strangely enough I can never remember what these dreams are about. I assume that this something to do with meds but have been unable to

I am so frustrated!! I am 53 and by my movements I act like I am 103!! I take Requip XL 4 times a day plus Azilect and I am not showing any steady reaction. I know PD is a progressive disease but Good Lord, I am getting worse everyday. I called my Dr. and he referred me to a Dr. @ the OU Medical

I take Stalevo and Requip XL. I have been rereading answers to this question which was posed recently. My 'wearing off' takes a slightly different form. I find that for a period of days I get very little relief from my tablets. Sometimes they do not seem to work at all and sometimes only for very short

I seem to have developed,over the last couple of months, a "slow speed" walking problem.I can walk into town , I run regularly (am training for a marathon) but have significant difficulties walking around the house. Could it be the increase in meds ?I recently went from 20-22mg Requip XL - am not on
