This is out of my area of knowledge but I did a quick search on GSK's (maker of Requip) site and they seem to have some patient assistance programs in the US and other developed countries that might be worth checking out...they, like many companies often make access to medications their number one charitible activity. So, I think big dollars go into subsidies for those who qualify. Anyway, just wanted to throw this in the mix.

Separately, it's also not really my place to chime in on the role that a forum like this might play in the lives of PD patients but reading this thread, well, it feels like a big hug.
