Advice & Tips
With doctor's advice stopped taking requip because of moderate feet and ankle swelling
Date
Jan 15, 2009
Advice & Tips
reduction of Requip further reduced primary side effect of swelling of feet ankles. There has been no increase in my parkinson symptoms following this reduction. It seems that the positive results from the addition of Azilect about 6 months ago more than compensated for the benefits of the third Requip tablet. If this continues I plan to reduce Requip by 2 mg per day from 6 mg to 4 mg per day.

Advice & Tips
Requip XL definitely controls the rigidity in my left arm and the curling, charlie horse in hands and feet. But new symptoms have appeared and I'm not sure if it's from the Meds or PD. I wake up with achy, stiff fingers and my whole body pops and cracks at the joints when I move - tendonitis? I also sleep less and have gained a little weight.
