Not nosy at all. I learn a great deal from you. Isn't the 25/100 sustained release as well? I've been cutting the 50/200 ER in half but thought the pills would be more equal if they came as 25/100. If the 25/100 aren't sustained, I should change the prescription and will do so thanks to you.

I just switched from Neupro to Requip XL. No problem. I insisted on having the non-generic Requip XL after my earlier problems with the generic. It's expensive, but about half the cost of Neupro and I have no chemical burns that I had with Neupro. Plus, I can go swimming again and sit in the hot tub.

I'm REALLY careful with what and when I eat. Empty stomach for the Sinemet and Requip right after breakfast.

My shoulder pain is almost completely gone, making me feel safe on the bike outdoors again.I don't know how people ride the tandems outside, but they are great for the PFP cycling classes inside.

There are now 24 PFP authorized programs around the country.
