Thanks

Eugene, I have been taking only 4 mg. Requip XL since last October and although it is helping with my physical symptoms (especially balance), I am experiencing compulsive behaviors. I would advise caution. I still experience alot of stiffness even taking requip, stalevo and azilect, but it might be because I'm sensitive to low doses. FG
