| Mar 21, 2009 | I had been on the patch for about 3 months when the FDA took it off of the market. my dr and i agreed that because it was helping me with the rigidity in my arm and legs that i would continue using it because he had sample patches that I could use until they expired in April 2009. i am now on Requip XL 6mg. I am starting my 3rd week on the Requip next week i will be up to 8 mg.we are hoping that it does some of the same things that the Neupro patch did for me. | < $25 monthly |

| Aug 27, 2008 | Pray Neupro patches become available again soon in the US. | $100-199 monthly |
| Mar 11, 2009 | It's the only dopamine agonist I can tolerate (Mirapex & Requip gave me unacceptable side effects). Re: not adhering to the dosing schedule, I cannot afford to use a Neupro patch for just one day, so I use a patch for 2-3 days with good relief. My only downside to Neupro is eating compulsively, but it's *much* better than either Mirapex or Requip. | $50-99 monthly |

| Sep 23, 2008 | Start using it, as low dosage as possible. I truly know that had I taken it early on I would not have the deterioration I have. Since using Neupro, I am 80% better in some ways, and 100% restored in other ways. | $200+ monthly |

| May 01, 2008 | This medication was withdrawn by the manufacturer...if it hadn't been I would have had to stop anyway...as I delveloped a severe skin reaction to the patch. If the medication had been on a paper or silk binder, instead of the silicone...I don't think this would have been a problem. | < $25 monthly |
