Requip

A MyParkinsonsTeam Member asked a question 💭
Auckland, NZ

I gather it is the same as Ropinerol, i have been taking 32mg plus a sinemet a day, my new neurologist was shocked and told me it is a dangerous drug and causes destructive and addictive behaviour. I have been on thiis medication for several years now and thought it working well as did the previous Neurologist. ??? Any suggestions

I have been on ropinerol for years without any side effects, or any other problems. I have had two different doctors over the past 10 years and they both don't seem to have any negative things to say about it. I also take the carbidopa/Levo every 3 hours / up to 7 per day, as well as several other meds.

If it is Rohypnol then it is dangerous. It is off the shelves in most countries. It was used as a sleeping medication
