Hi
I was on the neupro patch 4mg per day. I started with 1 mg and increased slowly to 4mg. The side effects confusion, tiredness, lack of sleep and a general overall feeling lousy forced me first to quit. I think it made my symptom worse.
I never had dyskinesias .. prior to DBS I had little if any tremor which had been dominant for the first 12 years. For me this drug (also for RLS) was a disaster.
Requip can make one very compulsive. Maybe it was my high level of carbo/levo that added to the intolerance.
It is very expensive and should be started at a low dose.
