Re: A medicine that works!

Bill,

Sounds encouraging. Keep us posted - Mirapex may not be the answer

forever - is Requip metabolized in the liver, as is Mirapex?

I have been taking Requip for over a year now. It has worked very

well, but i am trying to " get off " this now. I know that may sound

strange, since it does work, but i need to be able to not take it for a

while. While it works, you also CAN'T not take it once you start. I have

cut my dosage way down, but I don't know if I can ever get completely

off. I would not be able to make it with the lower dosage if I was not

taking Hydrocodone. How much, or how long can I take that though ? You

all have given me wonderful advice on this, but I'm thinking,

" Hey, I'll need this or something EVERY night. "

I'm having to change Sleep Drs. due to insurance, so as soon as i do

this and find out how " knowledgable " they are, perhaps they can help to

guide me in this. I can not report any " bad " side effects while taking

Requip and it did not quit working. I would say to those of you who have

an interest in taking this that it is well worth trying as long as you

know you can't just STOP, " cold turkey " .

BTW , Please don't worry about sending a post you regret. I

seriously doubt that there is anyone in this group that hasn't said, at

one time or another, " Why did I send that ?!! " .
