Fiona, thank you for talking about the depression. Knowledge is power. If you can do it I can do it. I agree, requip is just another version of Mirapex. For those of you still on it, when the day comes that your meds are no longer working the way you would like, take a good look at the Mirapex first. I did quite well for about 6 years.
