There is a MDS who is supposed to be the best in the state, but patients are leaving him because of his bedside manner, and the fact that he doesnt spend much time with his patients..The guy Im seeing spends time with me and communicates well with me..Alot of people in my support group see this MDS and most of them are not happy with him, and I dont see results any better than mine
my neuro is very good about supplying a constant supply of free samples, just a thought. seems a lot of people who can't tolerate requip can tolerate extended release version. of course if you can't afford it that makes trying it out a tough decision but you could at least contact the manufacturer about getting free or discounted meds if it helped. just throwing out ideas, you seem to be asking for advice.
selegiline gives me better mental clarity, can't say it relieves rigidity or extends on time.
