I take 4 mg of ReQuip XL (down from 8 since cycling) and have had no ill side effects that I'm aware of. When I was at 8, I experienced dry mouth. A friend taught me self hypnosis for my tremor. I lie on my back and think "peace" when I inhale and "quiet hand" when I exhale. At first it took 30 minutes for it to work, then 15, then 5 and now I can do it without lying down or saying anything. I just will it to stop shaking. If I'm anxious or thinking hard about something else, I still shake. It's like a canary in the coal mine telling me to calm down and get control of myself.
