Requip
Dear Steffi, that is a lot of Requip! You may have experience from earlier trials with higher doses of Requip, and know what to expect. Twelve mg per day is already more than I can tolerate, but of course WE ARE ALL DIFFERENT ( except the guy in Life of Brian, who is not!!!!!).
Twelve mg per day made me feel nauseous and dizzy, my feet became stiff and numb and painful, and walking became an ordeal. My feet seemed to forget how to walk, I didn't walk, I clumped. And then, now and then, I would faint, not on standing up, but sitting in an airplane or in a restaurant and in other equally embarrassing places and situations.
I cut down to 9 mg per day, and I feel so much better. Less can be more. Requip is a nasty drug.
Good luck.
