If you could take Requip XL once a day instead of regular Requip every 3 hours, it would help with your meds wearing off. It is more expensive, but I think it is well worth it. I take Stalevo and Requip XL. I used to take Stalevo 50 and it would wear off and I would get a stiff neck and foot cramps. At first my doctor just had me increase the Stalevo to 4x a day and to increase the dose for two of those times. Now I take Stalevo 125 - 3 x a day and Requip XL 12 mg once a day and I am doing much better.
(Stalevo has carbidopa, levodopa, and entacapone.)
