I saw my neuro and asked for Requip instead of Mirapex. He asked why I wanted to go off Mirapex, and I cited weight gain and cloudy thinking. I take Mirapex for RLS, not for PD. (For PD I take Sinemet and Amantadine.) I forgot to mention fatigue.

My questions for those who have RLS as well as PD and for a period of time took Mirapex and later changed to Requip:

*Do you have RLS as well as PD?
*How did you get off Mirapex?
#Did you titrate up on Requip as you titrated down on Mirapex or did you go completely off Mirapex first and then went on Requip?
*Did Requip take care of your RLS?
*Any negatives from changing?
*Any positives from changing?

I know these are many questions, but I would appreciate your help.
