Advice & Tips
The generic of REquip is Ropinirole, affected me in a different way than Requip XL. My drug plan refused to return to the brand name drug. This was Express Scripts. I am now trying the Neupro patch which seems to have its share of side effects.

Recently my drug provider changed from the name brand Requip to the generic brand. I have had numerous side effects: dizziness, low blood pressure, balance problems, stiffness in my body, just about impossible to get the company to change.

By day 9 of beginning Ropinerol I was totally incapacitated, mentally and physically. I was walking stooped over and shuffling. My head cleared within days of cold-turkey stopping. Gradually got my energy and posture back as well. My tremors were unremitting.
