Default Requip

thanks. Well, I'm on 2 mg for a week, and sleepy, a bit. !! Yikes--24 mg seems like alot! I know, it's all so person-specific. That's good news, though, and great that you're doing so well on it. Thanks. I totally get your analogy,too--what a shame that we have so many bad med's to choose from, though. But what a pleasure to see the Bush/Cheney crowd run out of town, altho' soooo much toxic waste in their wake.....Later, Leonore

I am unusually tolerant of it and trust it more than I do sinemet (which is kind of like saying that I trust Bush more than Cheney ).
