PUK also has an info sheet on their site.
just curious, what dose/formulation of requip were you taking and how did you like it? if your neuro doesn't like agonists what is going to fill that gap? not being critical, just interested in people's experience with requip.

i needed to extend my on times and try something not affected by protein so tried requip which i had tried 11 years ago and didn't like. due to insurance had to start with the regular requip .25mg three times a day, was a zombie with that low dosage so chickened out after 4 days and stopped which was likely too soon to get used to it. sorry to digress. tried neupro samples and hardly felt anything up to 2mg, after which i stopped since i couldn't afford them but was curious to see if i could tolerate it.

i know parkies that do just fine on requip, stalevo, amantadine.
