does Requip cause migraines? sleep paralysis? hearing voices?
I have been taking Requip for six months and managed to get to my maintenance dose of 8 mg. In the last couple of weeks I have had an episode of sleep paralysis when I could've sworn someone was behind me and touched my neck. I couldn't move a muscle and I could talk. I also woke up hearing voices that

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 this coincidence, or does my med trigger something

When did you start with physical therapy?
several of your postings mention PT and I am curious when and why that started as part of your Treatment. My husband was diagnosed 4 years ago at 54. 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

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!!
The catastrophic effects of becoming a shopaholic will literally be the death of me. 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. I became an expert in

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)
You said it Huey; one that won't make me crash my car or make me feel three feet thick. Sounds like Mr. Lewis had some knowledge of Parkinson's drugs. MIRAPEX a nonergot dopamine agonist, was the first drug prescribed for me.Side effects include: extreme drowsiness, falling asleep suddenly, even

Does anyone else suffer from foot dystonia? Anything work?
After several hours of standing I am also crippled with pain. Being sedentary is not good either. Any one have any suggestions? Taking sinemet and requip.

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

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). He's not willing to raise the sinemet - I have a long way to go- Here's the problem: Requip has been very helpful; I am writing much better - a I'm a teacher and accommodations are OK, but I
