Re: What works?
Hi Keith
LIke you , my main symptom is the tremor on my right hand and leg. I am also on Requip and Sinemet but so far with no improvement. You mentioned that Requip and Sinemet are helping you immensely. I would be most grateful if you can tell me how much of the Requip and Sinemet are you taking. Thank you for sharing.

Hi Bob
I am 47 years old and I was diagnosed a year ago in April. I decided to see a Neurologist when I was having anxiety problems. I am currently taking Sinement and also taking Requip. My main problems are the termors in my right leg and foot, which it makes it difficult to drive at times. I am still experimenting with my dosages of medication to control my PD. I am a Quality Engineer for an Automotive supplier and I deal with a lot of stress and travel. If not for the medications, I would not be able to function in my job adequately. The Requip along with the Sinement help me immensely, but the Requip has a tendency to make me very drowsy. You need to experiment to find the right intervals and dosages that work for you. Also I find that taking vitamins B-100 Complex, B-12, C, E, and a multi vitamin without iron, helps me with my fatigue. I feel that you should consult your Neurologist and find what works for you.
Good Luck, Keith
