ALLELUIA!!! Three nights without requip and I slept like a baby. I guess it takes 3 days for the "requip" to leave your system. Please anyone out there be careful of this drug. I wouldn't never recommend it to anyone.
Hi KatEyes, thank you for your response. The thrashing I have is not normal. It really gets violent. The first night off Requip was much better but the second night was a little worse. My PCP said there is (dopamine?) in the med. I don't know anything about that. I did read on the internet that it(requip) can rarely cause grand mal seizures. The drugest told me it takes 3 days to clear out of my system. My thought is do I really have RLS or is it just nervousness. I will go to the web-site you suggested. Thank you.
Hi. I have Periodic Limb Movement Disorder and in the past have thrashed a lot at night. At one point when my meds were too high, and also when I took some cold medicines or drank caffeine, I would experience extreme agitation, thrashing, with my mind stuck on one repetitive thought all nite, or dreaming wild dreams. I had to back off my dosage and start over at a lower dose. Was on Sinemet then, now on Mirapex. Doc prescribed Requip but I wanted to wait due to side effects and the adjustment phase. You might want to check askapatient.com to see if other Requip users have similar issues. Best wishes.
