I have noticed compulsive behaviour since I have been on the agonist Requip. I have found that whatever I apply myself to I seem to want to keep doing it and find it hard to stop. For example I have been doing a lot of decorating in the last few years and when I start to paint I want to keep going even though I know I am tired and should rest. Also shopping is another compulsive behaviour. Its almost like I get a high from doing these things. Like I am driven in some way. I am taking 12 mgs of Requip just recently reduced from 14 mgs by my MDS due to restlessness and anxiety. So far I have not noticed any change, I'd love to feel more relaxed and rested but I think that the Requip is the culprit here. I have a short on time with my meds so I take them every 3 to 3 1/2 hrs. It still feels like a roller coaster ride. If I reduce the requip will I have to deal with uncomfortable dystonia and rigidity. Seems like a vicious circle.
