Budgies,

I'm so upset for your husband and yourself because this just should not happen ! The advice given by the 'experts'/'professionals'/'witch doctors' in this case borders on the criminal and is certainly wrong. The patient leaflet in Requip specifically warns against suddenly stopping this med, which is what you've effectively been told to do, as your Parkinsonian symptoms can get much worse, and thats not even DAWS !
How about contacting your GP, he may be able to issue some titration add on's to slow down the reduction. John is correct your husband needs the meds topping up (requip) and then stabilised,then reduced ever so slowly.
Please feel free to contact me even if it's to let off some steam.
This is a great site, much more 'GO' than the uk sites....great people.

He will get better again Budgies
