Damon,

Welcome to the forum.

For some people, dopamine agonists, in your case Requip, lead to impulse control problems. Given your experiences, I would discuss with your doctor why you need it at all.

Regarding your levodopa dose, do you really mean 23@100mg plus 3@200mg? That would be very high.

You write that some days you "appear normal". Is that the same as normal? Yet there are days when you need a wheelchair. I would check that your levodopa is being taken in optimum conditions. For instance, eating protein close to the time of the dose reduces the amount of levodopa reaching the brain.

Your psychiatrist is right to recommend exercise. But it is easier said than done. I would recommend an exercise that has a good social component.

You mention depression have you tried "talking therapies", such as cognitive behavioural therapy?
